Thanks for that. I _still_ can't tell, from looking through it -- are they going to stop harvesting wifi access point passwords? That alone (along with many of the other items) is a non-starter.

It seems misleading to describe Wi-Fi Sense has harvesting passwords - that's a side effect and not the purpose. That said, I'm not sure if Microsoft still stores Wi-Fi passwords at all; if they do, they removed the primary benefit: Wi-Fi passwords can no longer be shared. The Wi-Fi Sense privacy page only talks about open networks now. If they still store Wi-Fi passwords on their servers, it must be only used for profile sync. I can't find any information one way or another. https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10-about-wifi-sense https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10-about-wifi-se...

  A lot of what Microsoft does regarding privacy is misleading.
