To many privacy issues.  I will stay away from Win10 for a while. 

Now, by default settings they want you to share your bandwidth with strangers over the Internet.

Thanks for posting,. Shame on MS for making p2p distribution the default.

Other than the privacy issues, W10 has been very good, fast and solid.

Of course, MS still is nowhere near as aggressive as Apple, Google and Amazon in gathering personal data. Those companies own their users, lock stock and barrel.

I find it incredible the number of people who will trade privacy for convenience.
