The questionable part is that they're there in the first place and enabled by default. I'd be fine with that if the telemetry and what not was opt-in as opposed to a lot of toggle switches spread across multiple settings.

All the toggle switches are under the Privacy screen in the Settings window.

Not really, there's a bunch of other options that are not in the privacy section and need to be explicitly toggled off in the scheduled tasks manager (I forgot what was the name of it).

Until an official, signed, mandatory update from Microsoft installs something worse.
