Just wrap your computer in the same foil you have wrapped around your head
and you'll be fine.

There is no reason to believe it just because somebody is saying it.

The usual way to catch spies is to catch them having information that they
could not have gotten through legitimate means. Has that happened?

Your local grocery store (major food chain?) knows much more about you
and your habits than MS could ever know. Ask them who they share this
info with.
And always wear a heavy duty tin foiled beanie (shinny side out!) just
to be on the safe side...LOL!

There is no such thing as 'privacy'.

Trust me, you're not important enough for the NSA to be interested in you.
