Microsoft Collects Phone Location Data Without Permission

This is just another example of Microsoft blatantly copying Apple! Hell, they might as well use Apple's "it's a bug" excuse while they are at it.

"The Windows Mobile operating system is clearly sending information that can lead to accurate location information of the mobile device regardless of whether the user allowed it," Kamkar wrote in an analysis made public yesterday as part of a lawsuit filed against Microsoft. Lawyers for the suit, who are seeking class action status, hired him to perform the testing.
