I would be astonished to see "below the stack" communications for anything official from Microsoft, because that takes the public conversation from "look at all these features that affect privacy" to "look at how Microsoft is TRYING TO HIDE privacy invading features."

Since MS knows that Windows communications are going to be under a microscope anyway the odds of them expecting to successfully hide the very existence of communications seem low to me, and once they're known to exist they WILL be inspected and publicized.

I'd expect the below-stack communications to be from espionage folks instead, quite frankly.

That is just plain naiveté. Big corporations don't have the accountability as individuals or smaller companies. They can just scrapgoat someone. Just watch some docus like the enron one http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1016268/. Those dystopian futures many writers romance about are going to come true soon.
