It seems the HN crowd (and zdnet and EFF) are all missing a very important point: with the anniversary update (rolled out last week) Cortana is now much much less intrusive. For example, you don't need to have GPS enabled att all time in order to use Cortana. So all in all, Microsoft seems to be on the right track regarding privacy. It is not moving very fast but at least it is moving to the right direction.
