Hardware 2.0 posted a story that statements made by Microsoft to the US House of Representatives prove to be at odds with how its Windows Phone OS actually works.

Earlier this month Microsoft was hit with a lawsuit which claimed that the new Windows Phone OS tracked users without their consent. Now new evidence has come to light which seems to prove that there is some substance to this lawsuit.

Enter Rafael Rivera, one of the programmer behind the Windows Phone jailbreaking tool ChevronWP. After initially being skeptical about the lawsuit, Rivera decided to test the Windows Phone camera app to see what information, if any, it sent to Microsoft when the phone was reset to the ‘out-of-box’ experience.
