Maybe a cyber-mafia infiltrated MS to grab some user data? Stuff like setting itself to autostart hijacking the keyboard to make copies & screenshots encoding it in base64 using WebSocket to work around proxy blocking sounds pretty much like malware. At least not an accident.

Remember the good old days when Windows would ship thoughtfully coded tools that could be attributed to people who were [_proud_ of their work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Plummer)?
