I still don't know why people limit the scope of surveillance products/services to Microsoft.

There are a handful of companies to avoid that work with the NSA.

If you have missed the list, check out the slides: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/08/nsa-prism-serve...

It is not about Windows 8 but about TPM 2.0. Which basically limits the control over your computer, it might be mostly harmless for private users but for governments and critical infrastructure it is not.
