Does anyone else have this annoyance?
Whenever I select or open an image that Windows recognizes (such as jpeg or png), it tries to contact Microsoft. The process is either explorer.exe or dllhost.exe, I guess it depends on whether I just browse images in Windows Explorer so that they appear in the preview pane, or open them in Windows Photo Gallery. It also happens in all applications that have the standard file selection window.
Blocking this in firewall results in a ten-second delay every time.
I didn't have this before installing SP1...
