I like my WIN7 Prof and new laptop. It should last at least as long as the newest gem in the MicrostuffIT product line.
I’m sorry Dave, I cannot allow you to disconnect me.
Dayglored, Shadow Ace gave me a heads up on this. . . this needs a ping to your Ping list ASAP. Microsoft’s Corporate Vice President Joe Belfiore admitted that users cannot disable the tracking installed on Windows 10, even if they turn off all the user options for such tracking. “core data collection simply cannot be stopped. . .” Translation: you will be watched. OOPS! I wonder if one can just turn off WIFI, disconnect Ethernet, Bluetooth, etc., do all that, will MS Windows 10 just refuse to operate??? LOL!
I guess I should go to Linux mint or Ubuntu. The only thing I really use windoze for is to run Sony Vegas for video editing and watching DVDs.
Winston Smith please phone home. Or better yet, stay where you are cause MS knows where you are and what you are doing.
They’re are making it hard to embrace 10, even though it’s possibly their best os yet. So much bad pr as far as the eye can see. Their dumb moves are similar to mistakes made with Xbox 1 rollout, which is falling further behind the ps4 by the month.
FUGates
I stopped it using Red Hat
Turn the computer off. Voila!
Sure it can. Go back to XP or upgrade to Linux.
No more Windows 10+ machines for me. I also have a mac which I will use more and more.
For PC users, install Ubuntu and learn Linux.
God, I hate Microsoft. I want to to like them, but stuff like this makes me hate them so much...
Can’t be stopped by the sheeple but it sure could be stopped by MS.
LINUX? I heard Ubuntu is not bad, any advise?
Checked out 10. Didn’t like it. They removed the ‘classic’ theme from one of the early beta versions and never put it back.
The new themes are crap.
Menues are difficult to read, slide/scroll bars are not even present until the mouse pointer moves toward an edge and they are narrow, making them difficult use. The frame borders are so narrow that it is difficult to see where one frame/window ends and another begins.
MS can take Win10 and file it alongside VISTA and 8. Put back the ‘classic’ them (fully) and it might be worthwise. Until then, it isn’t.
Exactly what spying and transmitting back to Microsoft is going on with Windows Ten? If eveyone is so pissed off at then exactly what info is being beamed back to the Microsoft mother ship?
For example — Are your internet searches and websites you visit being sent back? I doubt it. Windows crashes info being sent back? Maybe. How much time each day you use your computer? Maybe
Does anybody know if Win10 will stop working if you just block that Microsoft IP address at your router, so it can’t get to MS? (Except when you periodically re-enable it to occasionally get updates?)
The gov’t will know all your files whenever say the democrats or corrupt republicans or you local gov’t or Barney Fife person wants to blackmail you say in the time of an election. If they can see they can download any files as well.
Guess they are trying to push me to use Linux. All I do is surf the net & write documents (rtf), so there isn’t much that says I NEED Bill Gates...
