Their 2015 (and later) tooling and runtime cannot be trusted anymore, they send home data like there is no tomorrow - as observed on Win7. It's the VC++ runtime, the dotNet runtime, the dotNet optimization process, VSCode, dotNetCore, etc all send data home with no opt-in or opt-out option. This doesn't happen on other operating systems.
