Despite understanding the purpose and value of telemetry for developers, the constant attempts to hide telemetry behind something else (not just by MS) makes me incredibly suspicious.
With MS especially it seems to be that -- considering the backlash against Windows 10's telemetry -- if they wanted people to stop raising eyebrows and sounding alarms, they'd be a little more transparent about it instead of continuing to be shady about it for whatever internal reasons they likely have.
- floatingatoll 7y agoIf I were Microsoft, I wouldn’t consider tech news furor around “the word telemetry is present” to be relevant or worth discussing. Either it’s truly security content in which case they’re not going to discuss it, or it’s truly telemetry content in which case they’re not going to discuss it. The OS is discontinued and they probably have an edict forbidding the press team from spending time for the topic “Windows 7” altogether.
