On: Microsoft: Require user consent before sending any...

[LightHugger]

This rediculous false dichotomy of "if not for excessive telemetry it would be crashy" is so beyond reason. If it crashes just pop up the crash reporter and prompt the user with a button to send the crash report in. Done. No ethical issues there.

But no apparantly you think microsoft needs a constant faucet if your information to prevent crashes. Golly i wonder how developers managed before said faucets.

Testing, a QA team, and an opt-in bug reporting mechanism.

You're frothing in favor of telemetry

Not really, I'm not the one being vitriolic.
