| 1423909 | 2016-07-31 11:26:00 | Well some of the so called things that cant be turned off actually can. On the version that is been on the insider for a short while now 14393.5 and is completely upto date, which by all accounts is the same as being general release on the 2nd August, so far none of the items have shown. Lock screen -- turned off-- Advertising -- Nope - Nothing, The games, candy crush etc all been removed. So god knows what version that article is using. GP editor - I'll look tomorrow and see if that's as same as the article or not. |

| 1423913 | 2016-08-01 03:25:00 | One thing that article forgets to mention is that all the options can actually be turned off Via normal settings if you know where to look - Just done it :p Of course in a large workplace where a admin may not want certain things to happen I guess it could be a bit of a problem. But apart from any adverts, which since using this latest version have NOT appeared anywhere there's no real problem. All a storm in a teacup ( again) The lock screen for example: :sleep You can have the computer on all day and it never comes on, easy enough to set. Its a bit like the older style screen savers /password locked, so what, who sits at their computer looking at a locked screen :wub Yeah right - so even if there were ads big deal you wouldn't hardly see them (if at all). Games - simply uninstall them, if they come through the store - easy, sign out from the store. With W10 what many don't actually know is you can easily sign in (or not - if not then no lock screen unless you turn it on) and only sign into the apps you want to use, its NOT all or nothing. On mine because I sign into my own servers an email sign in wont work, yet I can easily have the mail, or store or what ever signed in as I se fit. No big deal. :) |

| 1423915 | 2016-08-03 08:40:00 | It had to come. One way or another they will push income streams (ads, pseudo freeware, nagware) or start to restrict users choices. I'm curious. Now that w10 is no longer free, will MS still be trying to push W10 onto my W7 via a disguised update? I haven't done an update for months after giving up on Win Update actually delivering credible product, thanks to the disguised push towards W10. If they are still trying to push W10 onto me with a $200 price tag, then they are in for a sh#t load of litigation worldwide. |
