Re: How about treating them like everyone else?

"They've known they're taking all sorts of things from people's personal documents to patients medical records (if your local GP uses Win8+, with the document "slurping" etc going on...) "

The only way Microsoft would get a document is if an application crashed and you answered yes to the specific question at each crash that asks you if you want to forward the full content in question.

"and all sorts of other personal records, including "typing history""

Lol, Windows 10 doesn't store or forward your actual typing. It collects statistics like word use frequency and similar in real time. If you let it.
