[WARNING!] Win10

[Mr.Adder]

Microsoft can't stop Windows 10 from spying.

Having said that, consumers that had their Windows updated for free will be required to install program updates. And this does not stop at this point. The standard Windows 10 or Windows 10 Home edition also manages the amount of data transfer an individual should consume, showcasing advertisements in the Start Menu, logging all keys one presses on their keyboard, it even checks and downloads one’s browsing history, and a lot more. They are all outlined in the End User License Agreement (EULA) every single individual is forced to say yes to these ‘modifications’ before getting their hands on their latest installed operating system. Thankfully, the worst of Microsoft’s snoop applications can be impaired one may do it manually and via a software. To begin with you can do so by editing the privacy settings from the Start Menu > Settings and then eventually to Privacy, and following that one can turn off those features as much as it allows you too.

Secondly, if you are still not satisfied with blocking it manually by editing your settings or want to go even more deep in this hunt then you can use an application, following this, the tool one should use is called Spybot Anti-Beacon. It is a one click remedy – together with an undo option in the event things don’t go as you imagined – coming from a recognized program who has held his place in the security business from the early 2000s. Plus there is no spyware and adware in the software.

Also here is a list of domains that we know send information back to the Microsoft servers:-

You can prevent these on your own by manually editing your hosts file with 127.0.0.1 that is if you are willing to do so. However, if you decide to edit it, please do make a backup in case something goes wrong.

REALLY  you would ask this ,, Really 

Well why wait till then , why not now since its free to upgrade and u can work the kinks out.

I actually have no issues with windows 10  on any of my computers..

I'm sure you probably only use LINUX right .. But not all software runs on linux nothing i need for work will run on linux.

As far as the spying be patient it will be in everything soon.

It seems like each new version of windows is worse than the last.
I am not "anti-windows," as I find that using windows for certain tasks is more efficient.
Gaming, for example. Sure, there are work around for many games on Linux, but when I want to play a game I want to play it, not spend a bunch of time trying to research and implement some workaround that in numerous cases won't perform as well as it does on windows.

My issue with windows is that as they progress in versions, they seem to take more and more control away from the user. I am not going  to pay for an operating system then have it tell me I don't have adequate permissions to remove the spyware they bundle with new installs.  Plus, I don't feel like everything I do is Microsoft's business, so I really don't like all the monitoring.

If they spy with win 10 how long till they do it with win 7.. food for thought

Less than I  think with win10. I´ve got control to monitor the traffic between my users networks and Internet, and belive me... I´ve enought with broadcast and legacy programs using legacy protocols, I don´t need to add more shit

I´ve got a strange way to think about it... but could be possible those countermeasures taken to block info to be uploaded to MS, easily bypassed by Microsoft if people are using, for example... Skype?
