I'm not a regular Windows user (mostly use it for games), so maybe this doesn't apply fully to me.

Although I'm not particularly confident in MS's security competence (judging by Windows' security track record), I don't think the main issue people take with this data collection is related to breaches by outside entities. At least in my case, it's not.

What I take issue with is the same as for Google et al.: I find it creepy and don't want MS (or Goog / Apple / etc) to keep tabs on me, on what I do, and to try to find a way to make me buy more random crap with their ads.

I'm also uncomfortable with the avenues this opens for State-level surveillance and the use of wonky "IA" to check on whether I'm doing anything "illegal" on my device. Cf the guy whose Google account got suspended for sending pictures of his son to a doctor.
