While its true that there is no way to prevent breaking in with physical access (even the "secure element" (an integrated sim card) can be hacked with proper technology), I can't see any attack in TFS that required physical access. A smartphone should be protected against a malicious wifi hotspot or NFC terminal, and I wouldn't regard communications with those as "physical access".
The key point of open source software is the right to fork. If microsoft does anything of step 3, some people will step up and create a fork. You can see that with openoffice. If step 2 is executed, there should be enough power in the community.
Modder didn't get the joke did they?
does the 4chan crowd know about this?
They agreed to that in the terms. So they had the choice.
I think the root of the problem is that most people don't care about their data, and therefore don't demand for change in the terms. Telcos would give you options if enough people cared.
Digital devices make being monitored very convenient. People would object if they had to fill out forms or similar, but as long as they don't get disturbed with their daily lifes they don't care.
Yeah, and Microsoft won't release it either. Or does the "server stack" include WinForms?

Recently, Verizon was caught tampering with its customer's web requests to inject a tracking super-cookie. Another network-tampering threat to user safety has come to light from other providers: email encryption downgrade attacks. In recent months, researchers have reported ISPs in the US and Thailand intercepting their customers' data to strip a security flag—called STARTTLS—from email traffic. The STARTTLS flag is an essential security and privacy protection used by an email server to request encryption when talking to another server or client.1
By stripping out this flag, these ISPs prevent the email servers from successfully encrypting their conversation, and by default the servers will proceed to send email unencrypted. Some firewalls, including Cisco's PIX/ASA firewall do this in order to monitor for spam originating from within their network and prevent it from being sent. Unfortunately, this causes collateral damage: the sending server will proceed to transmit plaintext email over the public Internet, where it is subject to eavesdropping and interception.
Great moments in customers relations!
I don't use the new interface either, but still I can arrange myself without addons. When I need to access one of the menus, I simply press alt, and get the old menu bar. I only hope that they won't remove this in future.
