[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 868374, member: 57429"] If they cared about privacy they would randomize/anonymize telemetry data collected. But they don't because they know there is value in fingerprinting users systems. Do they really need to know what programs/drivers/settings you have installed and enabled and for that data to be sent back? Why don't they just use statistics from WU on drivers/software to improve windows? Error reporting to fix issues with software and problems? There is no need for system settings panel/explorer to call back to Microsoft servers. Now with WD intergrated into every install they have even more data to sell and use. [/QUOTE]
