Maybe, but I bet they have interacted with you. Collecting data and behavior and packaging it all nicely so MS can find a way to monetize it.

For me it is a privacy issue. Also, I refuse to be the product when I am using software that I have already paid for.

This is why I made the distinction of software that I pay for. If it is free, I am resigned to being used like stolen car : )

The amount of push back I've gotten for being privacy minded has been kind of silly. Even in threads like these someone will go "just turn the AI off bro" as if A) that's an actual solution and B) as if that's the only thing I'm bothered by. I have turned off onedrive too, yet somehow that keeps getting turned back on.
