What are the chances of MS offering us Live users an anti-phorm patch?
from the network POV, there can be NO patch, as the facts as they are means every single bit of your datastream passes to the ISP/Phorm DPI kit.

a simplifyed layout looks something like this:

your CM<===>the VM UBR<===>Phorm Gifted Deep-Packet-Inspection-Kit-For-Profit<===>the website you asked for.


as you can see, you might not know it, but your being intercepted at all times once it goes live even if they dont pass your copywrited datastream on to the anonymiser kit and instead divert it to were you wanted to go in the first place, after setting and storing/reading an illegal cookie without permission etc.
