No, Microsoft isn’t stupid. They are smart enough to bend with the wind when it blows in from the NSA.

Freepers need to wake up—you have no reasonable expectation of privacy—whether by frontdoors, backdoors, hardware, software, telephone lines—NSA or their “little friends” can get your info.
Act accordingly.
Oh, and don’t waste your time writing your Congress-critter. NSA has a file on them as well.

Got to disagree here. Microsoft knows many of the customers are stupid and they need to protect them from themselves.

Bill Gates nearly released Windows 95 without a browser, because he didn't think the Internet would be a thing. So, yeah.

Act accordingly.By that I trust that you mean find out WHO WILL BE GIVING THE ORDERS, so when we are forced to rebellion they can have "accidents" or just disappear.

Good article. That’s why I have more than 3 W7 laptops. One of them gets the W10 upgrade pop up once in awhile but the other 2 don’t. Veracrypt is the supposed replacement to Truecrypt which I used before the security issue 2 years ago caused its demise.

The website listed to go to for signing in to your Microsoft account is not a Microsoft site. How do I know that is not a phishing site meant to get info on how to break in to my computer?

I don't believe that's a Win10 issue. Sometimes the website prevents you from copying images. Are you having this problem with all webpages or just one?
The process I use is to right click on the image, select "Copy Image Location" and then paste that address into the image tags.
