Sneaky Microsoft renamed its data slurper before sticking it back in Windows 10

No

Examples of data we collect include your name, email address, preferences and interests; browsing, search and file history; phone call and SMS data; device configuration and sensor data; and application usage.

Nice.

When you're doing stuff online you sort of expect the sites to have this sort of data because you're actually using their systems and your data is on their physical servers (whether or not they actually do anything with it is a legal/ethic issue, not a technical one).

But when using my machine, I expect it to stay on their unless I explicitly send it out. We've all spend a lot of time and money to protect ourselves from software that steels our private data but when the operating system is doing it, it's game over.

I'm sorry Microsoft, but you can stick your spyware up your arse. Bye!
