Ubuntu was only sending search history and it was easily opted out. Next version won't default to sending Amazon search history even.
Microsoft seems to be sending a lot more information on many more items, to a complex network of obfuscated domain names. Not good.

Quidsup keeps it real in regards to Microsoft's spying in Windows 10.
He talks about the photo viewer app sending usage stats. Meh. I do usage stats sometimes.
Then he talks about Bing sending search information to MS. What he doesn't mention is until recently Kubuntu was doing exactly the same thing!
Before Unity 8 Ubuntu/Kubuntu was sending search history to Amazon to target ads at you.
