I was not a fan of Upgrade Advisor. I was optimistic about the upgraded version because supposedly it worked many times better. I was unaware of the telemetry data being shipped back to MS from the DMA. I think you should be able to opt out of it. Since you can't, I will continue to stick with my own methods and not rely on such a tool as this to upgrade databases.
I think that MS has gotten a bit cocky. They have no right to such data / "telemetry" if we don't want them to have it.
I would love to see an opt out for all products. I have clients that have trapped sensitive data at the firewall being shipped back up to MS. Due to that, they started blocking it at the firewall. They don't want to take any risk. An opt-out for telemtry would still give MS a good enough sample of feature use etc which can help them drive development efforts.
