as if i'm gonna believe M$...At the "full" level, the amount of information that is sent by your computer is positively scary, to include:
What software is installed.
What music you're listening to (and the URL of the source)
What movies you're watching (and the URL)
What electronic books you're reading (and how much time you're spending)
And so on.
Why ANYBODY would allow for this to be installed on their computers I will NEVER understand.
Get a phone/camera running Windows.
Put it where the sun don’t shine.
Let MS view the video from that.
Eat beans, raise the activity level.
Damn. Crashed my Internet Exploder when I tried to view the web page.
Windows 10 data mining revelations of what they are mining. PING.
I will never use W10 at home. It’s bad enough I’m forced to use it at work, but I will never use it here.

as if i'm gonna believe M$...I really wish that Mozilla or some such non-profit company or person would develop an OS that would be user friendly, reliable and private.
Exactly.
Microsoft has decided that it is in the business of violating its customers' privacy in order to better target them with unwanted advertising.

I just read that there are now more Android devices in the world than Windows devices. Such a shock.
If you use Windows 10 and are worried about its spying, it probably helps to install O&O Shut Up 10: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10. Be very careful with the program's configuration, or you may accidentally shut off Windows updates entirely.
It’s for your own good. Now shuttle along subject.
