I think I'm gonna bless the day I was told about this site ... already I'm finding my way around and discovering that I'm not such a dummy after all ... there are 'others out there' who like me are having problems ... (small ones of course), but what is even better, is that the 'family' are so willing to help with suggestions and results. Already I've found answers to 2 problems I HAD. ... Thanks CTH, & thanks to those who post results. - margo_s

Microsoft will start erasing data from web searches after 18 months, unless it receives consent to store it longer. Microsoft is calling on the rest of the Internet industry to support it, with a common set of privacy practices. This week Yahoo will lay out its own plans for a similar policy for making search data anonymous within 13 months of receiving it.
These follow privacy regulations announced last month by Google, the leading Internet search provider. Privacy groups say they are especially concerned by Google's ability to match search data with information collected from other services like email, instant messaging and maps.
