so i'm guessing you use something completely different as a O/S then?
EULA / Privacy Policy / Terms and Conditions are in all, even Apple, and all spy on you to a degree.
first you need to understand what does and doesn't happen with a O/S.
as it's a platform for other apps, depending on what platform you choose, depends on the level of protection it offers, minus the apps and program you install and use, so on the best platform with the worst programs and apps installed, it's like a house door with the key left it, remove the problem apps and programs and you close some and only some of the draft from the door's.
install 3rd party stuff to fix the leaks and you're half way there, windows 10 has been and is more open than most before it about what it does do and can do and what can and can't be turned on or off atm, saying any different is wrong and poor information i'm sorry to have to say, was on the beta of this for a long time.
every time you install anything, go online, use a mobile phone or send any sort of electronic message, or plain snail mail for that matter, some one has the chance to read it, no matter what you do, or what ever method you use, unless you're saying we go back to writing on slates i can't see the point of repeating the same old scaremongering and poorly misinformed posts, as nothing in the thread has mentioned anything new that hasn't been in all O/S since they first started making them, now at least they are telling you in advance and letting you make a more informed choice, does it keep dates / work and will use it?, is the same as cookies and sites that keep them, who cares?
nobody is forcing anyone to sell there soul to M/S for free with a offer that is going to bite them and steal all their non precious data, what do you do for a living? nuclear rocket research for nasa? or some dodgy stuff that you would like to keep hidden?
my point is, one person's cr@p is another dream tool, a car is a mass killer with the amount of deaths it has caused, planes keep falling out the sky, be we all still use them, cancer kills some, but people still smoke knowing it may, it's choice and informed choice.
a firewall is only as good as the idiot who installs a poor or bad programs onto a computer, a virus program is only as good as a surfer habits and updates for it and the O/S in use.
you show me a better one, and i'll give you a list longer for it's weaknesses?
show me a better designed one? as Apple are very worried, so what else is left to choose, open source?
it has to date the biggest single day and weekly gross installations than all other O/S todate put together, add up the numbers, in 2013 500 million computers were running windows xp world wide, if windows 10 is already outpacing this with installations, by a year or 2, it will be over the XP numbers, so for a cr@p O/S it's doing very well, and i wish i had invented it.
a few days ago M/S released this http://www.windowscentral.com/report-windows-10-now-installed-67-million-pcs
so what's the number now?
quote:
Even more interesting is the claim that Microsoft hit a max bandwidth of 15 Tb/s, topping the previous record of Apple's 8 Tb/s during their last OS push. Microsoft has reportedly reserved up to 40Tb/s "from all of the third-party CDNs combined".
quote:
Their goal is to hit a billion over the next two to three years, so they have plenty of time.
so either way cr@p or not 67 million people disagree with the links comments :)
with maybe a billion over the next two to three years, so as this post will be here then anyway, if i'm wrong, please feel free to come back and tell me, i won't mind either, i will be here same as the info and post...
