I'll install this when it includes stuff to stop every other damn company from collecting their data.

  How do other companies collect OS-level data?

    Oh right, it's in the OS so it's a tragedy now. Facebook and Google obsessively hoarding data about me is all good. Microsoft trying to collect usage data, horrible nasty evil no good rotten scoundrels.

      I don't give Facebook or Google any of my data. Run this and then install Adblock(configured correctly) and you won't have to either.

      You don't see a difference between companies which you give your data to over the internet and companies which produce the operating system of your computer exfiltrating information?

      That statement is disingenuous at best. > Microsoft trying to collect usage data Microsoft is using also collecting information for targeted advertising. It assigns you a unique advertising ID.

    Pretty much any non-UWP Windows app installed with administrative rights can collect OS level data.
