Ask HN: If you were CEO of Microsoft what would you do different?
What would have done differently and, in your opinion, better than Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates and Satya Nadella?
Google gets all the crap about violating privacy or "going too far" (for good reason, though) but Microsoft somehow manages to do much of the same if not worse, and nobody seems to notice. Read between the lines what they are doing with Cortana on Windows for instance. Last I checked in the preview you couldn't even turn off sending your local searches to Microsoft's servers without having a Microsoft account (so much worse than the Ubuntu/Amazon privacy scandal - but...crickets).
Also, I don't think they've removed the part in the Windows 10 privacy policy that says they can log all your key strokes, and my guess is they will leave it in for the official version of Windows 10, too, hoping everyone will have forgotten about it. There are also many other ways in which Microsoft secretly (as in 99.9% of the users have no idea it's happening) sends data to its servers, even on current versions of Windows.
