NSA would probably benefit more from doing that with a phone then with a PC that may or may not have a capable microphone/webcam. 10's free because MS can make money off Store and telemetry. Also I'm sure 10 was cheap to produce. They had most major features (except Edge and Cortana) in the first Insider build, and from there MS just did UI stuff and DX12.
Windows 10 is cloud based. It communicates with servers. I communicate with Windows 10. We live in a time of constant communication. Most people are always on their phones whether they are driving, s**tting, or having sex. Windows 10 spies on us just like we spy on a new date when we are taking him or her out. We get to know each other so that we can better understand each other in the future. This is what Windows 10 does, and it is about time!
wow so much bulls**t. im clearly non of those "oh no it's spying on me" guys otherwise i wouldn't use windows 10 enterprise LTSB but what happening right now is too much. it does not matter what other companies do. it's about ms here. how is windows 10 cloud based? because there is a onedrive application installed? then windows 8 was cloud based too. and also every other OS with onedrive/dropbox or whatever installed. everything is stored localy and if you disabled all those useless apps, like cortana, edge, etc there is nothing to communicate. so dear windows: shut up like you did before. if microsoft really thinks most people will fall for this they are out of their minds. non of my friends did a upgrade, im the only one running windows 10 and they laugh at me. it wasn't even that bad with windows 8... microsoft f***ed up again. they need to do a 180° turn fast. not like with windows 8 and not like with xbox, months later. do it now microsoft or better pray that "vulkan" will not be good otherwise you will lose alot of customers. if you just want windows 7 users.... then do what you want microsoft. it's not like you will hear on your customers anyway.
Maybe where you live... sry to say rarely have read such a BS... Communication is made by at least 2 individual objects. One sends and the other receives. M$ is taking private info without one knows what it is! This is no communication! "We get to know each other" hence M$ encrypts the data they steal yes.... enjoy windows 10 you have deserved it!
Will M$ will stop me from making a back up of my purchased dvd flicks? Will it break my Any DVD program? accuse of copyright infringement and suspend my account? Do we know how far Microsoft will go to police us and can you trust Microsoft?
Exactly on point!...And you're right, NO we don't have any idea how far.... Trust the direction Micro$oft is going now (lol, really?!)? Do I trust the NSA?... Pfff, I would be a fool...
@tmf2 And so how many posts did you start with? We all got to start with 1 post and I do not disrespect anyone, It was my opinion as we are all entitled to nothing to do with how many posts etc.
