Welcome to the real world of the Corporate Occupied Technosphere.
If you think Apple is any different in terms of "doing things you don't know about," you have many surprises coming.

What?! Apple lost 7% of its market-share in PC selling int the first half of this year only!!!
One Drive is connected to your Microsoft account (much like Google Drive to your Google account, or iTunes to your Apple account and so on...). If you do not wish to use it do not use your Microsoft account to login to Windows (Ar even better not to use Windows 8.x)...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

What? You have to buy ints now? Guess I'll switch over to floating point numbers before Apple sues me.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

And this is the most intrusive piece of Virus-Ware of all!!!!
I only refer to iTunes as The iTunes Virus.
It's a terrible resource hog, cpu killer, memory eater and runs some other services to make sure it is updated and yakety yak yak blather more ad infinitum.
Please refer to iTunes as The iTunes Virus for now on.

Like who?
Working in a company which recruits people from research institutions I see many people joining the company from academia, every single one of them brings their Apple laptop with them and we have to tell them that they cannot use Apple laptops.
Why? Because we have no control of their personal hardware and there appears to be a connection between Apple devices and our Exchange server going wobbly every so often.
I say there appears to be because we cannot connect to and administer the devices via our management tools, however whenever certain people connect their Apple devices things go to pot on the servers.
Where I work we have found Apple computers to not be good enterprise solutions.

How are Apple and Google not more invasive?
People want tight integration without needing to think about it. These days that means not even having to deal with enabling a single service. When Apple automatically enables a service like this they are praised for being forward thinking and easy-to-use; when Microsoft does it they are the enemy.
Frankly getting a little sick of seeing the M$ reference to Microsoft as well. Have people not read about the stock prices and cash coffers of Apple, not to mention the premium they charge (and people continue to pay) for their products? Heck, Apple PRIDES itself on charging a premium and this is how they keep their investors happy - this is not opinion, but well documented fact.
I'm not a Microsoft fan-boy, but I will defend anyone when I see ridiculous double-standards at play.

Please do not cross-post messages. You asked this question in the C# Forum, which is an appropriate place. The Lounge is (for most) not an appropriate place for specific technical questions.

I picked up a packet of those in Bowmore back in May. Quite tasty, but not as good as a proper haggis.

So, in today's world wide development paradigm, I need to get something out for our test group in India. They are getting up soon, so they need code. Oh joy. So, my office is right off the kitchen. I cannot kick any of my daughters out yet, but I have an eye on the back upstairs bedroom as my next office.
The kitchen is today's gathering room, but I can deal with the chatter. I cannot deal with the elephanting dogs barking at each other...
comes right through the noise cancelling headphones.

Lol... or 
One guy told me to get one of those pre-fabbed work sheds. Insulate it, run power, small a/c and fiber. I have enough room in the backyard... Hmmmmm

I stopped wearing a watch much earlier than that, possibly in the 80s.

Sounds like you are unsure. I think a better explanation is you lost your watch and never bought a new one.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, I just don't remember the time... 
Actually some time after I graduated high school (1984) and before I graduated college (1992), I got fed up with having the band shave that part of my wrist so I relocated the watch to my pocket. I kept a succession of Casio calculator watches in my pocket until I got a cell phone. Since getting a phone I haven't carried a watch at all.
