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?
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.
Based on what I read, when I installed Windows 10 preview when it was first offered, is that Microsoft was trying a new approach and actually soliciting feedback from users in order to make Windows 10 as good as possible. They succeeded, every upgrade introduced new features, dropped others no one wanted, and rearranged the interface many time. The end result is wonderful.
Microsoft clearly said, in the user agreement, that this was a preview version and should not be used in a production environment because of all the information which was going to be collected. This collection would cease with the release version for the public. RTFM and quit spreading disinformation, it does you no credit.
And it’s free too!
