"You want security patches? Welp, you're gonna have to accept Telemetry too."
Probably true. Many of those who haven't switched to Windows Telemetry... err Windows 10 yet have probably also decided not to install the telemetry patches Microsoft have released for Windows 7 and 8.1. So, now you have to install them in order to get other updates.
Who says there's anything left for Microsoft to do? What if the Office Suite is so near perfect that is impossible to innovate?
Might very well be. Personally I think it's because one of the selling points for the subscribe Office 365 is that you always got the latest. So even if the only thing they did was to develop 250 new ways for clippy to annoy the user they. They can still call it a new version and hope the people subscribing will be happy cause they are getting a new, improved version over that one who bought it for a one time fee have.
Have to say the same. I wouldn't mind a function that can protect that file if enabled(not having to turn Windows Defender on/off for it). Or maybe even be able to protect certain rows in it.
If I want to point www.facebook.com to 127.0.0.1 on my computer I should be able to do that. But Microsoft is cutting corners and silently resetting arbitrary items.

But if you're not doing anything illegal you got nothing to hide. So if you don't want our fancy spyware you must be a pirate...
