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.
