If true, this is a different EULA than earlier versions.

I will get finished moving over to LINUX . I have been slowly making the transition. W10 is incentive to get er done. I do have to get used to a new photo program. The one I am used to and love is originally for W95 and there is no fix to attach it to Linux.

I don’t believe everything I read in email.
After my experience with that guy in Nigeria,
I think twice before even answering with my
bank account numbers.

Since my 6 yr old desktop doesn’t get a free version of the WinX spyware, I loaded it up with 64 bit Ubuntu and an OracleVM to run 32 bit WinXPP for my Win s/w. It’s WAY fast on the Linix side and good on the XP abstraction. FUN TIMES!

I bought a small SSD to get a fresh start and bonus performance.

“Has anyone else read the EULA closely to render an opinion?”

Have you read it?

Microsoft has long considered your computer to be their computer. This is just more of the same.

Here it is from Microsoft themselves:

Realize you almost need to be a lawyer to understand it, but it is in English... Sorta!

Haven't read the EULA. What I've learned is that opting out of data collection/tracking requires the configuring/disabling of "numerous" Win10 settings. MS doesn't make it easy for the User. In addition to changing settings, I believe disabling the MS Cortana app prevents its unique data collection/tracking capacity.

There are a number of online articles that instruct on how to opt out of MS data collection/tracking.
