“Defending Microsoft’s spyware”?? Me?? You must have missed all the threads I posted, and the negative comments I made about Win10’s spyware a.k.a. telemetry, many months ago.
I have attempted to separate the known-true from the speculative, and inform people how to turn off the damned telemetry if they have to use Win10. I’ve characterized some of MS’s actions as evil, have warned folks against using Win10, etc. so I don’t know what more you would have me do.
Meanwhile, your false accusations are no longer very funny, and you are barking up the wrong tree. There are plenty of actual Windows and Microsoft fanboys on FR, and you’re welcome to harangue them. But I’m not one of them. I appreciate your conversation and acknowledge your position, but I’m bowing out at this point. Good night.
And yet, you never acknowledge any of the spycraft evil going on at microsuck.
Quite to the contrary. Many of the articles dayglowred has pinged in the past have concerned exactly that.
I think he's doing a pretty good job of using a pretty even hand on the articles. After all, most are posted by other folks. He just runs the ping list. In fact he does a much better job than I could because I personally think that MS is one of the greatest evils on the planet and the company has personally cost me more of my precious time in hair-pulling aggravation than any other that I can think of.
Unlike dayglowred, I'm pretty much a Linux guy. I respect what Apple has done with OSX, but have spent a grand total of probably about 3 hours actually using OSX, and that was mostly to attempt to recover data from my dear departed wife's Macbook so I could repurpose it to my mother in law.
I'm on the windows pinglist, not because I'm a user, but rather because those things that threaten Microsoft users tend to ultimately affect those of us who use superior operating systems, whether we want it to or not.
