Visiting relatives after Windows 10 forced itself upon them. Finding Cortana took liberties as it was found turned on. Flicked Cortana off, flicked half a dozen options off including the keylogger aka the helpful keystroke correction featured that nobody in their right mind would want enabled. Microsoft has irreparably damaged their image, I didn't mind their monopolist shenanigans of 90's or Linux trolling of 00's, in 10's they took a stab at me and here is where we part.

> the keylogger aka the helpful keystroke correction Why do you naturally assume malicious intent? Is the Android Keyboard (which does the same thing) a keylogger? What about every search engine's suggested searches? Did you know that OSX's Spotlight feature sends your queries to Bing by default? If Apple is so protective of your personal information, why on god's green earth would they choose big bad Microsoft as their default search provider for OS level search? There's this dichotomy that exists between Microsoft and everyone else. Microsoft can do no good, and everyone else is given benefit of doubt. Google's search assistant cross references a search you made on your desktop Firefox browser with a contact in your Android phonebook and suggests a Google Now car based on it and your response is "Thanks Google!". Microsoft grants it's search assistant access to it's contacts app on your device so that if you type your friend's name in the Windows 10 search bar it can display his contact info and you lose your mind. How is that fair?
