Microsoft has been going full Google for some time just as Google has been going full Microsoft. But, Microsoft has never beaten Google in anything they've tried. If anything, all of their attempts to battle Google have resulted is spectacular failures. The lack of privacy in Windows 10 is Microsoft finally acknowledging that Windows is the only thing they have left and they're going to do whatever they can to remain competitive against Google. They're now treating Windows 10 as their trojan horse to overwhelm you with their services. Unfortunately, this is also going to backfire. Microsoft is an enterprise software company. That's where they make the majority of their money from and they should stay focused on the enterprise because the consumer market has already made their choices.

They're not worried about what the consumers think because those who would leave Windows for another platform over decisions like this have already left. The ones remaining are going to stick with Windows no matter what, so they might as well go ahead and (attempt to) slip in whatever they want -- the consequences will be minimal.
