Hi bob3160,
Yep, there is nothing wrong with this. There is only something wrong with people that do not realize this is going on everywhere. This what is going on is not specific for MS, Google, linux or whatever is into this game. It is just people do not know about the 5GB sent back at set-up and the long, long rows of opt-outs and what will be shared with third parties and eventually on demand with other intelligence. It is the fact that they are not aware that when something comes free that they are the product.
You, bob3160, are aware and I am aware and I hope we both are prudent enough to realize these facts everywhere and all of the time. But a lot of folks do not realize that when they are out on Wifi insecure they are sort of "completely naked". So you are getting back the reactions to what you typed into your Google query a few minutes before.
