Yes, there is a good deal of hype in the article: "Microsoft collects the data by 
leveraging its huge Internet infrastructure [...] to swallow botnets whole."

But: "When fully deployed, Microsoft anticipates being able to offer three 
realtime feeds, which third parties could access using APIs (application program 
interfaces) provided, for free, by the company."

If men use their liberty in such a way as to surrender their
liberty, are they thereafter any the less slaves? If people by a
plebiscite elect a man despot over them, do they remain free
because the despotism was of their own making? Are the coercive
edicts issued by him to be regarded as legitimate because they
are the ultimate outcome of their own votes?
