  They're rapidly heading down the path, at the very least. Microsoft has been giving away their operating system for free in exchange for mining your personal data. Everyone who uses Windows 10 can expect to have everything on screen scraped, all their keystrokes logged, and all their files transferred to Microsoft for analysis.

I can't speak to Microsoft. I am not a user of Microsoft's products, nor any of its subsidiaries' products, and they are not mining any data from me.

      Who is? Amazon? No, I was talking about Microsoft only. Sorry if that was unclear.
