That sucks! I was chomping at the bit to upgrade to Win 10, hey it's FREE!!! Not so fast. It sounds like Windows 10 will be a complete invasion of your privacy. Maybe I have some misunderstandings about Windows 10, but to me it sounds like it is spyware. The things I have read sounds like the Microsoft mothership is a giant dongle that records your every move, checks all your software and their license. In so many words, they say that it's nothing bad, not to worry. To me, it sounds like they want to know everything you do on your computer and EVERYTHING about you. It's about marketing and pushing products at you, but my question is who else will get a hold of my information? How secure is my information going to be with all the hacking going on? They say it's all to provide a better computing experience, my question is, for who? It's not something I want. MS says you can revert back to your old operating system for a limited time, but they have made it difficult to do so and I hear people lose stuff trying.
The other thing as I understand it is, in 2016 MS is going to automatically update you to Windows 10 in the background if you have update on, and if you don't have update on you will not be able to get security updates. Nice choice! If what I hear is true, it's a gun to the head.
You can turn things off in some versions for security reasons, but there are those that say MS is still recording what you do regardless to that. Check out the MS forums. They are not the only ones, if you use Google Chrome they are recording what you do as well. If you use Google voice search or commands they are even recording your voice. Your voice is like a unique finger print. So why are they recording our voices? What is the real purpose? I think it's an invasion of privacy and they get you with the user agreements.
It's just rotten, I wish I could use something like Linux Mint and never look back. Everybody should read up on the issues with Windows 10.
