Man, you were scraping the bottom of the barrel with that one. What on earth possessed you to post a bit.com site on FR? You hate us?

The list of tips 'n tricks:
1. Make Cortana recognise your voice
2. Turn off Windows Explorer's "Quick Access" view
3. Take control of Windows 10 updates
4. Stop Microsoft Edge Browser opening everything by default
5. Ditch Bing and start searching with Google
6. Make your active windows more noticeable
7. Remove the Windows 10 login screen
8. Have Windows 10 play DVDs
9. Disable Flash in Edge at the flick of a switch
10. Streamline your notifications
11. Snap windows together at the press of a button (or two)
12. “Print” documents to PDF
13. Extend your Laptop's Battery Life
14. Turn off Microsoft's worrying "Wi-Fi Sense" functionality
15. Windows Key shortcuts you HAVE to know
Alert FReepers who saw the earlier post of 14 Windows 10 problems... and how you can fix them forever will note an eerie similarity to this list... Quite enough of bit.com.au for one night :-)

Microsoft has expanded its diagnostic data collection with Windows 10, making mandatory what had been a voluntary telemetry program. source

There’s no doubt about it: Windows 10 is studded with data-tracking tidbits and hooks into all sorts of Microsoft’s online services. Handing over all that data has some tangible benefits, like Windows 10’s OneDrive integration and the Bing-powered brains behind the Cortana digital assistant, but not everyone is thrilled with the idea of an operating system that’s constantly looking over their digital shoulder. source

Why Microsoft yanked its latest Windows 10 update download: It hijacked privacy settings source

No thank you Microsoft. I will pass.

It is interesting but you should have provide links to so many other articles about Windows 10, the good and bad! Now that would have been a interesting story.

Next time, look at both sides of the issue and maybe showing some integrity.

Having finally struck gold with Windows 10, Microsoft is really pushing its latest operating system by giving it away to upgrading users for absolutely nothing.

This is the biggest non sequitur ever.

While Windows 10 may remove much of the effort when it comes to updates, it also has a terrible habit of resetting your computer at the worst times.

That's ALL I need to know abut W10.

Number 5 and #8 were useful to me — made clicking on the article quite worthwhile. Thanks for posting it.
