>>(1) MS collect personal info - Win8 even requires an email address on installation, Hotmail knows country and other info, IP address can be correlated, app store purchases, etc. Now they can track everything I surf via their CDN. If the opt-in is the EULA then everybody uses opt-in.
>>
>>(2) We don't know what info is being collected since (a) it is encrypted, and (b) you are not in that loop.
>>
>>(3) MS do targeted advertising (your big anti-Google gripe).
>>
>>Don't tell me about Google getting fined - I am not endorsing Google (who appear to not live up to their motto) and MS have been fined plenty times - its all par for the course.

>>>Big difference...

>>>Google collects personally identifiable data..data about YOU. Microsoft collect information about your machine, nothing that says WHO you are.
>>>
>>>And it looks like Google is doing its data collection illegally. It's looking like the EU will levy fines against the company because of it.

>>>>iro data collection: if you say EULA = opt-in then fine, we all opt-in to everything we use. There is no difference between Google or MS in that case. You should have said that in the beginning and saved a lot of typing.
