In the Windows 10 thread someone posted this hilarious comic: http://www.bonkersworld.net/organizational-charts/

We just have to hope that "our" guys (OSSers) have bigger guns than "those" guys (privacy destroyers).

Considering most OSS devs slam analytics on literally every website. Really there isn't much difference.

That's what windows is sending. Analytics information. Yet I can guarantee every major website developed by open source using devs is sending the same information for their apps. Yet no one complains.

Look at the comic. I'm talking about divisions inside Microsoft. I doubt it very much that Scott Hanselman (for example), who is in the camp that pushes Microsoft to open up, is the kind of person that designed the privacy controls (or their lack) in Windows 10.
