If this is true, then it really does flabber my gaster.

I've no problem with them doing this sort of thing, but it must be opt-in rather than opt-out. Like you say, this isn't just about individual privacy concerns, it's about important legal obligations that people may unwittingly be violating if they use Windows 10.

This is my point. I do not care one iota under what sort of black-box privacy scheme they maintain they employ. It's a black box and through it all generated information can be passed to Microsoft. "Trust us" is not a good reply by someone with their track record.
