> Microsoft isn't interested Who knows what's on Microsoft's mind. They are burning bridges by including ads in Windows, by that alone they are (mildly) evil or insane so appeals to what Microsoft wants or is interested in loses meaning because they aren't acting completely rationally. > It's dealing with anonymized, aggregated data Even if I trusted them to not act maliciously I can't trust them to be competent, and there's plenty of historical evidence for that. Either they spew how they aggregate data or I don't trust them for the already mentioned reasons. > you can turn it off. Informed consent is the keyword. They didn't get it for arguably very invasive behavior many informed people would object to. I shouldn't be flying around turning three pages of settings off on my relatives' computers because Windows 10 installed itself or explain lengthily why turning certain settings isn't necessarily in their best interest, that's Microsoft's job and they failed at it.
