I can confirm: I bought a Surface Pro 3 the other day, and when I first booted it up, the setup screens explicitly asked me which privacy settings I'd like to enable.

Do you know if there is any information sent to Microsoft by default for which they did not offer you a screen widget to click that says "off"?

Do you know what actual data is, and is not, sent to Microsoft as you use your device?

Even if you do, will you still know once Microsoft pushes a mandatory update and/or changes its 12,000 word terms of service?
