Speaking of that...
"Microsoft Swiftkey" virtual keyboard got installed on my phone (Android-based) without me having ever actively installed or allowed it. I don't use it. I noticed it was there when it appeared in a recent update, and after the update, my phone battery started to deplete much faster than usual. I looked at the battery details, and this Swiftkey shit showed up as the number one source of power draw. Keep in mind I don't even use it, it's not selected as any of my input methods. I tried uninstalling it, but the phone says it's part of the system and can't be uninstalled. What kind of bullshit is that. I managed to "disable" it from the Applications list, and it stopped eating my battery, but it's still installed.

I suggest anyone having a smartphone to check this out, Android or not, as it's also apparently available for iOS, and got updated recently.
Beyond the power draw issues, if you ever use this virtual keyboard, I suggest to be wary, as knowing MS's practices, I wouldn't be surprised if this app didn't "phone home" on a regular basis, possibly sending your inputs to some MS server one way or another.
