Announcing .NET Core 1.0

I don't think the previous comment is suggesting it is bad. I think they're trying to stave off any "OMG! MS is looking at your porn!" posts, by highlighting the privacy policy of the telemetry; which sound reasonable to most people.

Thank you. I wasn't suggesting it is necessarily bad. It looks like the openness and ease of disabling is being handled much better here than with Win10.

However, the option to disable on install (checkbox prompt for preference) would be much better. This is an improvement over the Win10 approach.

Sorry if I took it the wrong way and jumped the gun too soon.

Microsoft is by no means an example of sainthood, but many in the HN community tend to only criticize it, while closing the eyes to similar actions of companies that are closer at heart.
