It sent the data to MS. When I discovered the feature and alerted the company's ICT they quickly disabled it on all the machines. Knowing which tools are uses in which semantic order is a serious privacy concern, especially for corporate environments.

Oh I agree about feeding everything back to Microsoft being a security risk. As you can probably tell, I see the cross-device syncing possibilities as being clever but secondary to the benefits that a time/semantic visualisation tool can provide in and of themselves.
This is why it seems to me that Microsoft is missing a very important trick: They've got a useful and clever feature that can be integrated into local search and they are throwing it away. A feature like this would have allowed them to implement a time-based 'nearness' local search function so that users could ask questions like "what else was I working on when I worked on X?" or "what projects, files or records are associated with Y?".
Stuff like this really shouldn't be predicated on Cortana or on data going to Microsoft. It's not really (or should not be) just about syncing technology.
Of course, W10 sends a load of stuff back to Microsoft for the 'convenience' of its users. This is just one example amongst many.
One would have hoped that MS would allow corporates to set up their own servers for this sort of stuff. One might even have hoped that a domain account would near-automatically send data back to a domain controller, not to Microsoft.

While I imagine I will be long dead, I suspect I will also be grateful that my brain can't be hacked right now. But 50 years in the future? A 100? It'll be a whole new brave world, for those getting cyber implants.

These five programming languages may fade into obscurity over the next decade, but the profound influence they've had on modern development should not be forgotten. And by "dead" he means, "I don't use"

In other words, his intellect is so 'dead' that he can't use words correctly.

Dunno. It behaved nicely on PC#2 and this system even after a browser data dump...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
