No it isn't. I don't have any MS software installed on any computer I own!

It is an evil demon disguised with lipstick.

It wasn't for the fact that I know I will eventually be stuck with it
I would leave it now.

It's latest trick is not let me update my backup (by copy) files from
my old XP machine, but only let me read them. I'm not alone with
variants of this problem. One user has had all her MS Office files
rendered inaccessible in this manner. Nor is it something simple to be
dealt with via the security tab etc., and MS has no clear fix.

It doesn't even matter much. 1/2 the websites you visit today track you.

more bullshit.

microsoft is *not* tracking every keystroke.

microsoft does collect anonymous analytics, such as if apps crash, so
that they can improve their products and services. there is no personal
identifying information sent. only a moron would not want that.

there are other features that may send data, such as cortana, but the
user can enable or disable them at any time and for any reason.
