    Yes, amazing what the prospect of more sales can do, isn't it.  
     
    ..and yes, the rest of us will continue to be spied upon and the resulting private information monetized.

    the Redmond-based company has apparently managed to deliver what they themselves thought impossible: a version of their operating system that doesn't spy on its users.


    Bo-o-o-o-gus! What they themselves thought was impossible? They aren't that dumb. They may make some stupid claims, but we should know that they aren't actually that stupid.

    +1...... Unwilling and unable are two very different worlds. I hope this shows everyone that the impossible is possible if you stick together. You dent there pocket book and they will listen, but not while they have a decent percentage still using that monstrosity and they are still making a few bux.

    Ok, the world is eating crazy pills again. In a world where ...China... has the most secure and least invasive version of Windows 10.

    I've been using Spybot anti-beacon to block their Telemetry data tracking. The software was specifically built for that. 
     
    I feel as though I should have some privacy on my computer, with my desktop at least. 
     
    During the installation of windows, you're asked to customize this by enabling or disabling features. Once the installation is completed and you have disabled certain features, you find these enabled under settings...
     
    After each windows update, some of the settings gets re-enabled which I've previously disabled.

    ChiComs don't want competition when spying.
     
    I do find it hilarious so many are up in arms about Windows 10 on domains using trackers in the first place.
