EPIC and 13 other civil liberties and consumer protection groups renewed objections to the Microsoft Windows XP operating system and the Passport identification and authentication system. In supplement to the original complaint, the groups alleged that Microsoft�s new operating system and identification system will be privacy invasive, weaken user control over data, and result in the degradation of Internet anonymity.Supplemental Materials in Support of Pending Complaint and Request for Injunction, Request for Investigation and for Other Relief, EPIC Web Site.
