Pumykins, you should read some serious sci-fi. In less than twenty years, we'll have quantum computing, and shortly after that, a self-aware, self-propagating AI with such a high level of intelligence that no human on earth can even imagine its full capabilities. It won't be long before that machine will know everything, down to every configuration of adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine in every molecule of DNA for every living thing on earth. The Singularity. It's a thing.

And you're worried about Microsoft knowing what kind of hardware you use? :D
