I don’t have a problem with the telemetry on windows. I’m unsure why everyone gets so upset. MS isn’t collecting stuff to shove advertising down our throat. It’s getting usage to figure out what’s wrong with windows and make it better. As you say.

I have issue with Facebook and Google blatantly collecting whatever they can to build profiles of us all to shove advertising down our throat that isn’t even relevant to us.

maybe if MS wanted people to believe that, they wouldn't put so much advertising in their OS

I’ve to this day never seen any advertising in windows. Must be something only in America. :/

Edit: (seen the articles about it but never actually seen it in Windows)
