The question I have is that if MS does call home thousands of times per day with Windows 10, how many times does it do the same with Win 7, 8 and 8.1? Is it just Win 10 that can’t be shut down or do the other older operating systems circumvent the privacy options too?

Another day, another sensational report from Forbes. Oh my goodness, is Windows 10 really "phoning home" thousands of times a day? Nope. In fact, anyone who has even a basic understanding of how networks work should cringe at this shoddy report.
Folks, there’s a program called spybot anti beacon (from the company that brigns you spybot search and destroy)- to see it I naction head to this video on youtube- it’s longish, around 35 minutes or so- but worth the watch-
Windows 10 is absolutely horrible! Even after disabling spyware features, after a FORCED windows update, they reactivate some spyware features that you disabled!

The government is going to read your stuff no matter what. But at least we should keep the private companies out of it.
All the reason why my next computer will be an Apple.
