I've said it before and I'll say it again: Microsoft isn't collecting anything about you that Google, Yahoo, Apple - everyone - is already collecting about you and for much the same reasons.
Want to use Cortana? Great. But you have to let Microsoft look at your search history and your emails, the same as Google Now does.
Want better autocorrection? Cool. But you have to let Microsoft look at your keystrokes: just like Google, Apple and a gazillion keyboard Apps for Android.
Want to use OneDrive, Office 360 or OneNote? Fantastic, but Microsoft needs to be able to read and write your files, which requires another permission.
The way technology is these days it's hypocritical to condemn Microsoft for the same practices the other major players are operating under every single day.

Remember the Scroogled campaign? They were acting all shocked and disgusted that Gmail scans your emails. Yeah, that's why everyone's jumping as MS now.
Personally, I'm loving Win10. It's a nice blend between native and cloud OS.
