Yeah, windows 7 and 8 are getting tracking programs now too. Simple to not get them or remove though, and while I am at it added rules to my router to block traffic to where it's being sent as well.

The data seems to be sent to the following points:
win.data.microsoft.com
settings-win.data.microsoft.com
vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
The problem with one of the articles linked is that the "host" data is supposedly hard coded into the updates so modifying the "Hosts" file will not make a single change so this will need to be filtered at a router level.
Going *nix completely is looking better and better every day.
