I'm surprised we don't have a thread for this yet. Several concerns have risen around the internet regarding some of Windows 10's new privacy policies and features. Might as well just lump them into one thread.
First off, we have this little claim in the services agreement (covering use of services like Cortana, Skype, and Xbox Live):
Which garnered this reaction. I find the victimization of pirates quite humorous.
Second, there's the weird Wi-Fi Sense feature, which gives your contacts access to your router. The issue here being that if you opt-out, then your contacts can give access to their contacts. I feel like it'd be pretty simple to fix this. It seems like an otherwise useful feature.
And then there's all the other settings which send various data to Microsoft and others.
What do you think; are these too invasive, or are they necessary evils to enable a more personalized and streamlined experience?

We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices.
