Yeah, I ragged on Microsoft on this site for the tracking they built into Windows 10, and somebody posted a detailed list of references about the ways OSX was doing almost the same things. It was disappointing, and deflating.

Sounds like they still use Windows and are speaking directly to the President of Microsoft which just asked the government to regulate his industry.

Why are you accusing them of some kind of hypocrisy here?

I also don't want ANY of my products, paid or unpaid, to spy on me. Assume if someone calls out a particular vendor for a particular instance of privacy violations, they are not explicitly or implicitly giving a free pass to everybody else.
