As a small business owner, my main concern is that there are no assurances that my competitors large and small will not be able to see my contracts/suppliers/budgets/sales/processes at some point due to this ambiguous 'disclosure' mentioned or perhaps through some flaw that allows access to the data collected from the computers used in my small business.

I must be missing something here since I know Microsoft wants Windows to be used for businesses and the privacy of this information is vital to that.

I'll get the popcorn ready while waiting to see what hospital IT have to say about this.

They have already banned use of Microsoft's new mobile Outlook apps (iOS,Android,Win Phone) when they found out that these are actually thin clients to a cloud service that performs MITM on the hospital Outlook server to download, store and processes all email (the cloud servers aren't even fully Microsoft--they became Microsoft's via acquisition). And of course it stores usernames and passwords in order to accomplish this (confirmed by common sense, obtuse fine print and deceptive non-denials by Microsoft support). The penalties in HIPAA and HITECH aren't jokes (and now include jail time).
