T or F: Windows Phone Does Not Store Geo-location History

For your entertainment I present these two article titles by two respected web publications:

Microsoft collects locations of Windows phone users (CNET)

Microsoft: Windows Phones Do Not Store Location History (PCMag)

CNET reports Windows Phone transmits to Microsoft a miniature data dump including a unique device ID, details about nearby Wi-Fi networks, and the phone’s GPS-derived exact latitude and longitude.

PCMag reports Microsoft told PCMag unequivocally that phones running Windows Phone 7 do not store location history.

So, which title and pronoucement is correct? Oddly enough, both are correct since location history is not stored on each Windows Phone device.
