If you are really concerned about privacy, use Tor and other clearly anonymizing technologies. If you use corporate Windows/Mac/IE/Chrome/Safari and still whine about privacy, you are just proving that you want to have your cake and eat it too.
You don't have to necessarily go all the way to using TOR. You can use Linux, with care, as I do on my private systems.
If you are really concerned about privacy, use Tor and other clearly anonymizing technologies.That does nothing to protect your privacy from Microsoft.
If you use Windows 10, you have already agreed to let Microsoft have every keystroke you type and any file stored on your computer. I don't know to what extent they are taking advantage of this, but they have both the ability and permission to watch everything you do on "your" computer.
I understand that many people don't care that Microsoft is watching over their shoulder, and they don't care that they are at risk of letting "black hats" access their system if Microsoft has less than perfect security.
Me, I'm running Linux, with Windows 7 in a virtual machine for those rare occasions when I actually need it.
Tor and any anonymizing service won’t do you any good... if the communications include your system guid
I have always wondered about that axiom.
If it is MY cake, then why can't I eat it? Why would I buy or make a cake if the goal was not to eat it?
