>>(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.

>>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.
