Is this part of the purpose of telemetry ?

"Your customer is doing has installed xxx so sell them Microsoft xxx-enterprise".

Lots of things to be gleaned by looking at what is installed on a machine, even more by looking at web browser logs ... Who knows what they take as the telemetry information is encrypted before being sent to Redmond and there is not a tool that the user can use to decode it.
