Hi all,
Some people may have bumped into the following surprise for VS2015:

VS 2015 is adding calls to telemetry (surprise!) to track activity of
an application...
It's already been removed. https://www.infoq.com/news/2016/06/visual-cpp-telemetry .
Frankly I think it's a good idea, it was just stupid to do it silently and by default especially on release builds. It didn't actually send data anywhere unless locally enabled, though.
This is mostly a storm in a teacup, IMO, and if undesired it sounds like it's just necessary to build with VS 2015 update 3. I don't personally see it as particularly different to inserting dtrace events or similar.
