   Upon installing #VSCode ("insiders edition", their nightly build), it:

   - Immediately opened my web browser without my permission and instantly loaded a URL with various parameters (what did it just send to Microsoft?!)

   - Tried to connect to at least 4 different domains, including one for "bing search results" when I tried searching *inside the text editor*

   - Still continued to connect to 3 domains, including Bing search, after I disabled all "telemetry" settings

   Not worth it.
