Microsoft doesn't have a very good track record with security or privacy. Maybe it works, but yeah you'll probably get screwed over at some point.
Still, the fact that it's open source is a good thing. People can now take that code and make something better (ripping out the AI for example) or just use bits and pieces for their own totally unrelated projects. I can't see that as anything but a win. I have no problem giving shitty companies credit where its due and they've done a good thing here.

That's a very unfair assessment. In many areas, Microsoft services and Windows are better protected than most alternatives (e.g., disk encryption, virtualization-based isolation,...), and security is taken pretty seriously for new products.
