Maybe not but I'd trust Microsoft has a decent security and privacy team working on this more than a startup. What if they're logging the wrong stuff and my data is leaked?

[robertlagrant]

Good point - Microsoft products practically created the modern security industry. They're experts.

Did you mean that old school Microsoft was so badly insecure that they created a massive opportunity for security professionals.

[robertlagrant]

I did mean that, yes.

You mean like when Microsoft started uploading all handwriting & voice recognition inputs including passwords?

History has shown that telemetry is effectively spyware until proven otherwise, no matter who does it.

I think you could've had a full stop before 'until proven otherwise'.

[exdsq]

Yeah but if Microsoft fuck up badly enough I can sue them, startups are less likely to survive a significant breach (especially if the thing being breached is 100% of their product). There's just far less risk.
