You can be as paranoid as you like. I am in love with the notion of a time where I don't have to carry a computer around, and any device I sit at is mine, with my stuff, magically delivered via the internet and evil cloud services. PC won't boot? No worries. Lose my laptop? No worries. Smash my cell phone? No worries. Wake up in a random chick's flat after a long night in Ibiza and need to finish that powerpoint before people realize I'm not at work? No problem. Sounds wonderful.
I agree you gotta read the fine print, know what is being synced, and know who owns the data, but you *always* have to read the fine print. And you may not have, so you might be interested to know you've been renting software for the last 25 years or so anyway. You also might be interested to know that Microsoft's products are amongst the few that carry the highest security certifications and Microsoft does not impose any sort of implied license to your data... unlike Apple and Google, for example, who both demand an unlimited, nonexclusive right to your data.
