>It's the same company that builds a full disk encryption system (BitLocker) that sends your encryption keys back to Microsoft's servers Every time someone says that as though it's not the absolute correct thing for MS to do given it's standard home-user technical level/expectation I'm super confused. I would expect it to be possible to turn that off, but you can be damned sure that swathes of their users expect to be able to ring MS when they forgot their bitlocker key. >it's the same company that pushed for an "always on" HD webcam and microphone bundled with an "always online" video game console. They want you to always be able to use voice and gesture controls with your console - because if you have to stand up and press a button to turn the damned thing on then what's the value in half the functionality? I'm confident MS are actually more interested in their profit margins than they are by any conspiratorial opportunities with the security services. Casting the latter as their primary motivation all the time is disingenuous.
