Honestly Microsoft is creepy as hell the past two years. Similarly as bad as Google/Facebook imo, and they're bald-faced about it.

For those who don't know; the One's kinect mic is always on by default, and says hello to you if it detects (what it thinks is) your voice recognition. I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted the camera on full-time too!

I think the whole thing is tone-deaf, like the windows 10 privacy settings charade.

That's the exact reason I will never have an Alexa, Google Home or any equivalent in my home. I was a massive xbox fan and that made it an automatic no go for me.
