Sorry if this disappoints you but you can't escape "spyware" in commercial products. But nevertheless you always have the free choice - use it or not use it (or use something else). As fast as you click on "I agree with the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" (whatever you read it or not), you're saying: "I agree with all the stuff you do, in exchange for your goods." Legit. I agree, what I do on my computer shouldn't be Windows'/Microsoft's business. But the truth is that if some kernel module is logging your keystrokes to improve your UX (or maybe also something else), you just can't change it. If you need Windows or Windows UX, then you sadly have no real choice. If you don't depend on it, feel free to go for a Linux distribution (which is supposed to be less backdoored and spyware infiltrated as OS X or Windows (the kernel itself isn't backdoored but some preinstalled apps in the distro could be, although this is in 99,99% not the case)).
