From the moment an account is created, Microsoft begins watching. The company saves customers' basic information - name, contact details, passwords, demographic data and credit card specifics - but it also digs a bit deeper... and finding answers is not easy, as one privacy expert exclaimed, "there is no world in which 45 pages of policy documents and opt-out settings split across 13 different Settings screens and an external website constitutes 'real transparency'."

Rumor has it Micro-Soft will change it’s name to MICRO-HARD..

Obama promised TRANSPARENCY.
Apparently billion dollar Marxist companies employ the same business model.

Based on what I just read, anything you have or do, from passwords to keystrokes, places visited and what was said, credit card info and more and more, is collected by those nice people. And shared with other parties and made available for a legal process.
The apparent fact that it is just one huge spyware operation is one good reason to just stay away from it.
I really think that’s why it’s free, so useful idiots will suck it up and just share and share. It appears absolutely nothing will be sacred or secure with this little gem.
The Nazi movement is being revived right here. Joseph Goebbels’ propaganda ministry is alive and well with the MSM. Josef Mengele’s house of horrors is alive and well with Planned Parenthood. Heinrich Mueller’s Gestapo is alive and will with places like Microsoft.
I wonder who is filling Hitler’s spot?
Would that run on an Alienware M18 laptop?
*All* the hardware drivers work?
What about apps and software?
I have a ton of software I love.
That is the issue that has kept me from Linux, over the years.
The surveillance state went mainstream in the 70s. It just took people this long to notice.
You can run a CD only install to try it out to see if it works for your hardware. This works with Ubuntu, I don’t know for sure about Mint but I expect so. I am going to install Mint in a VirtualBox so that I can see the differences. Currently using Ubuntu and it has worked for years for me so...inertia
Beats me what they would do with the info they collect at this house. We are totally boring, have no money and detest their weird clothes, movies,etc they try to foist on us.
Hardware? Probably. Software? Probably not. Sometimes (if you tinker long enough) you can hack Wintel programs and make them function (more or less) - but software writers have issues even making their products run on different flavors of Windows.
Incredible the defaults are On for all of this and the Express users will likely never know what they have sanctioned. Glad I did the custom install. Leaves you to wonder what else it might do.
The key to minimizing the sharing of info with Microsoft and beyond is to not log on using Microsoft account out linked to an Outlook account. Also you should decline the offer to automatically back up your documents and photos in the Microsoft cloud.
“automatically back up your documents and photos in the Microsoft cloud.”
Tell me you’re joking. They couldn’t pay me to use Windows 10 if that’s the case.
Not embracing popular culture?
“Red flag”!
