Would you use a version of Windows knowing that the OS has a backdoor, which you cannot control, allowing MS or whatever other entities they give access to it, to get into your computer?
I would not as well as any business would not too.
Besides all my private information is not stored on "D:\Data on the HD; there are better ways to secure sensitive information and I bet you know and use them as well. :-)

There could be a backdoor in Windows that no one knows about that allows Steve Ballmer to personally alter my freecell scores for all I know. However I use the product because I trust the people who coded it not to do that. My confusion is why people then don't trust those same people to use a "kill switch" only in extreme cases where it warrents it. The fact of the matter is that MS is being far more open on the app-store thing than Apple or Google ever were.
