Sneaky Microsoft renamed its data slurper before sticking it back in Windows 10

It's this continual reconfiguring of the various settings and services that really pissed me off. I've moved to Linux Mint for general work now, so this is less of an issue for me, but it still worries me that this kind of screwing around to get user data is being done by Microsoft. It harms so many people who don't have a clue that this kind of data grabbing is going on, and even if they do take steps to try and restrict it, how can they keep up with the constant little changes? It's like Facebook with their constant buggering around with their privacy settings (and no, I'm not on Facebook). Microsoft have lost all credibility with me now.
