Answer: you can't know for sure. Absolutely ridiculous.

  Diagnostic Data Viewer shows you the unencrypted data. The only way to get to "you can't know for sure" is by this logical leap: > But that does NOT guarantee or prove that there is documents privacy in any way. Using that specious logic you could say the same about any software on your machine.

    You are missing the point: If we dont trust the OS, why would we trust it to be honest and display what it's actually reporting. You can't be sure until you wiretapped the communication and looked for yourself.

      Seems I didn't miss the point at all. This is a conspiracy theory and not based on any fact, the theorist point to lack of proof as proof and ask us to disprove their ideas. The actual information we have indicates that isn't the case. If you disagree, then I'd suggest you dig up something supporting that viewpoint.

      I'm not sure if it's going to impact your trust in Windows either way, but regulators do 'wiretap' the communication sent off Windows boxes in an effort to keep Microsoft compliant with law, and Microsoft is financially incentivized to be honest (at risk of hefty fines). Tech journalism is quick to print stories of malfeasance in the privacy/security area, but they've done very little to inform readers of accountability or legal obligations that are enforced by government entities. This leads to general distrust and unproductive online conversations. If you're interested in privacy/security, you should be paranoid about this stuff, but don't mistake yourself into thinking that Microsoft operates in vacuum of unaccountability. (Disclaimer, MS employee, and I have to state that this is my opinion)
