Media Player not allows to select if I not want to help Microsoft

Submitted by litemininyuszika on January 2, 2009 to Annoyance, Bug

First time I started Media Player, I see I can't select not want to help Microsoft. I also can't change this from options.
(beta 1 build 7000)

This is the same for the existing version too - you have to select the "I allow", then select the "disallow" radio buttons in sequence, because selecting "I allow" enables it to change. It's a sneaky tactic and I wouldn't expect it from MS.

Come on microsoft, stop preventing us from using OUR systems that WE bought. You do not own our computers, you have no right stopping us from using it
