Xamarin now free in Visual Studio, and Xamarin SDK being open-sourced

What's a better way to point out MS should be Open Sourcing the parts of their codebase which people don't trust (eg their spyware)?

They seem to be making large numbers of moves trying to get people to use their platform... and at the same time, shooting themselves in the foot-head-foot with trust-destroying moves... and ignoring everything in relation to that. :(

How about:

"Maybe Microsoft should consider open sourcing the components of their system which track users. It's possible that this would help rebuild the trust that was eroded with the release of Windows 10."

Thanks. Tried to change it... but the "edit" link was gone by that time. Oh well, next time. :)
