> Many of you have asked for more control over your data, a greater understanding of how data is collected, and the benefits this brings for a more personalized experience.
IMO, and a bit more general, just the fact that this is a necessity, a constant complain made by users, shows that certain things need to be changed. We should be having a discussion on "how much control over my data does software X has" and not "how much control I have over my data which software X has".
In any case, just being able to see what some software/service/company knows about me is a step towards a good direction, no matter in which camp you belong (companies are the devil vs who cares what they know, I am not doing anything wrong).
PS:
> Third, we’ve further reduced the data collected at the Basic level. This includes data that is vital to the operation of Windows.
Vital? Vital is a strong word. I would like to see what they mean by vital.
