Not to forget LinkedIn, which is now being deeply integrated with O365, which has gained MyAnalytics (or whatever it's called) which is for all intents an automated "productivity" tracking software that aims to capture the time you're working, who you work with and how you spend your time.

I wonder when that data will be exposed on LinkedIn (hey recruiters, this guy is working late hours a lot!).

And then the eventual integration of that dystopian system with MS's developer monopoly. Now we have a truly "boring dystopia".

The worst part is: MS now has all the tools for this and more.

I've been waiting for the integration of active directory and linkedIn. It seems only a slight stretch to think of using corporate data and social data for cross-validation of true Identity.

Microsoft wants nothing more than a world full of .NET developers.
