The thought that Microsoft developed Visual Studio in order to spy on developers is a bit much to stomach.
- Silhouette 10y agoI'm not concerned with whether it was developed for that purpose. I'm concerned with whether I'm potentially disclosing trade secrets, violating NDAs or other contractual provisions, or simply risking a leak of my big new idea if someone else's system has a security breach. As I wrote before, requiring a log-in and open-ended telemetry for a traditional desktop app is a vulnerability with no benefit as far as the user is concerned.
