How do you stop MS from Collecting this data? That is the $64,000

Don't use their cloud (Skydrive/Onedrive). But it looks like you have
connected to the cloud with both machines. I think you're hosed. Someone
else may know how to clean out the cloud data and disconnect from it,
but I know nothing about that. I'm not connected to MS's cloud or
anybody else's.

I'm guessing, like the rest of the gang 8-) but, I think the data in
question is used to sync devices' apps and data via the users' MS
account, regardless of whether they use their Skydrive/Onedrive.

It's a convenience, a risk, and that security ship sailed long ago. But,
it's less of a threat than traveling around using open networks with
your smart phone. ;-)
