[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 866482"] [LIST] [*] [/LIST] I hear what you are saying and your not wrong. For me it's about looking at the bigger picture. There are way more data harvesting issues on the internet in general that make this look completely innocent by comparison. I mean the likes of Google, Facbook, heck even your bank knows more about you than you do and they didn't get that info from MS. To be fair, aside from the user ID issue, MS seems to be using the data the way they said they are using it for, as no one has proven otherwise. The whole issue about not telling us initially is MS fault, but in all honesty that was just your typical big brother talk, "oh man they must be doing something nefarious because... gulp oh man, they didnt tell us, gulp, gulp oh man the police are at my door." In regards to fixing issues: 1. They got rid of the QA team, (or the vast majority of it anyways), so that one explains itself. 2. The windows ecosystem is so complex, with an infinite number of hardware/software configurations, makes it impossable to test every scenario. 3. They can stop all this data collection and I will bet you every dollar that I have that this wont stop the bugs/issues from happening. That's just the nature of the beast especially for Windows. The whole issue about media is correct to a degree. MS is just the tech media's whipping boy for anything and everything. Some of which is their fault, others are just looking to make headlines. Let's be real here, the new version of Edge has people talking because it's an excellent browser. You have Google trying to still push people away because they know that MS hit this one out of the park. Then you have skeptics that will do anything and everything to hate on MS and will look for any fault and run with it no matter how small it is. I'm not saying this is what happened here, but the timing is a little funny and further more, what about the original Edge? No one complaining about that one and my guess is that it was doing the same thing. :whistle: (whistling quietly away). [/QUOTE]
