If they used the collected data only for compatibility improvements and discarded it when done.

If they allowed me to opt-in and I could shut off _all_ other telemetry.

If I trusted Microsoft.

Then we could talk :)

They actually have incredibly strict policies about user privacy. Everyone in the company recently had to watch a short movie (with actual actors and realistic scenarios) about appropriate data usage and permissions.
