Sounds too crazy to believe. If true, I think I would be forced to stop using windows all together.

If you haven't stopped yet, this won't change anything.
Edit: bury me if you want, it doesn't make what I say any less true.

I've never heard of MS key-logging everything you type and broadcasting it to their servers. If that were true, I would 100% not use windows. I only use my windows box for steam games and that's mostly for dota2 these days which has a linux client.
I don't know why you would assume to know me so well.

If you are seriously claiming ignorance to everything Microsoft has done since Palladium [1], Maybe you have a leg to stand on. But you seem like a smart guy, who has probably seen all the controversies (even if just with the Xbox One), so I think my original statement stands.

It's expected for Internet-based services that make their living on advertising. It is not expected for my operating system.
