Of course, installing the latest updates for 7 means you're agreeing to the same snoopers charter. A search with miss google should point you at how to remove the spyware......
the problem with this is:

- you have to check again anytime a new updates for the ms spyware arrives
i need ms (well.. at least in a vm with a dedicated gpu) for some dx10+ games (and fallout4). i can live with them spying that machine. but i'd prefer they wouldnt.
but what is with HR departments? or hospitals?
