I'll say it's less of a question of whether it affects privacy, it
clearly does;

although some may consider it unimportant, the constantly increasing
ability to track/identify people from very limited clues should make it
ever more important in the very near future;

the more pertinent question is whether it affects privacy in a way that
involves law;

possibly currently it may be that there is no specific law addressing
the question of whether an OS desktop should provide default total
privacy; however let's be clear there are obvious tendencies for
paternalistic legislation in the area, think 'do not track' / treatment
of facebook default privacy policy etc

as an OS should be legal in at least most important legal systems in the
world, let's look particularly at for instance the EU's zeal for
protecting consumer privacy in terms of data protection, it's really
going to need a warning at first then configurability as a follow-up, it
seems a relatively straightforward way of avoiding a whole heap of legal
trouble up the road.
