Given the amount of useful private marketing-relevant and private-communications-relevant data they send back as "telemetry" by default, I'd say it's a combination of advertisers and the government. I keep hearing about this, but I have a hard time believing that MS would open themselves up to the legal liability of potentially capturing HIPAA/PCI information.

...I have a hard time believing that MS would open themselves up to the legal liability of potentially capturing HIPAA/PCI information. I think they're taking this tack:
- Statistically it'll be a small amount/number of cases.
- Most of those won't realize we've lifted their private data.
- This is what we pay our lawyers for.
In other words, "It's the cost of doing business".
