Does Windows Vista Send Information to the Government?

A forum user switched to Windows Vista a month ago and actually had some good luck with it. He began noticing latency on his home network connection. He used port sniffing software and networking tools to see what was going on. What he found he referred to as "foundation shaking." There are some graphical images of a peerguardian 2 log with some very interesting information. The computer was in an idle state.

It shows the computer connected to the following (in his own words):

DoD Network Information Center (Department of Defense)

United Nations Development Program (Seems to correlate to the parent branch of the U.N. Informatics Division)

Halliburton Company (We all know these guys)

Ministry of Defense Data Return Agent

DOHS-Recon
