I doubt there would be much snooping if it’s open source.

Android is open source, but I still trust NOTHING from the folks at Google.

That's my take on it also. There are hundreds of Unix programmers who will go over Microsoft's changes with a fine-tooth comb. It would be a disaster for MS if they find anything.

So I think MS is playing it safe and keeping it clean. They'd be crazy to risk adding anything questionable.

Trust the devil, if you must. I don't see how using a Microsoft free-bee would be better than the other alternatives.
