Don't believe the Microsoft hype.

Now, if they open sourced EVERY single Microsoft software and allowed
forks with proper open licenses that are not restrictive; only then I
might be happy to use a completely vetted fork that removes every single
privacy concern or, at the very least, allows absolute total
transparency with options to allow/disallow data transfer based on the
pros of giving up particular and specific personal or other data for a
different, but worthwhile benefit -- knowing the "cost" of giving up
exactly which data is what counts and understanding that the benefit is
worth it.
