| 1415989 | 2016-02-15 06:36:00 | Is that OS for Chinese Govt depts ? I cant imagine the Chinese general public using it over Win or Linux They had one previously, that I was reading about, you definatly DONT want to use it, the article actually said if you wanted to try it ( and gave links to download), disable (unplug) your internet . This is the latest - its a rip off of XP in the way it looks and feels (According to the article) but its actually Linux a-first-look-at-the-chinese-operating-system-the-government-wants-to-replace-windows/ (qz.com) Some of the points from various articles Adding more software proved to be a considerable challenge. We tried to install the version of Google Chrome that would be used on Fedora, but NeoKylin blocked us from running it, saying that it was not allowed Another article states: Western companies can do business in China, but they tend to be granted access only if they partner or invest in a Chinese firm. A separate WSJ article noted that Dell said it would partner with Kingsoft in China to develop cloud-computing solutions, but the article noted discrepancies over which company planned to own the data users stored there. While exploring NeoKylin, Quartz found out that it has certain restrictions which does not allow any third party installations on the system. Quoted from This Site (thehackernews.com). And god knows what else is hidden in the innards of it. |

| 1415993 | 2016-02-16 06:27:00 | This spyware stuff is laughable really. :) At the end of the day whenever someone installs or upgrades to Windows 10 they have to click on the "I agree / Accept" in the license agreement. By doing so the person gives consent for MS to do it. just because no one actually reads it is beside the point. Android, Apple and many others have been doing it for Years Section 3 of the License agreement: By accepting this agreement and using the software you agree that Microsoft may collect, use, and disclose the information as described in the Microsoft Privacy Statement Same as people complain about updates, they agree to them. Section 6: Updates. The software periodically checks for system and app updates, and downloads and installs them for you. You may obtain updates only from Microsoft or authorized sources, and Microsoft may need to update your system to provide you with those updates. By accepting this agreement, you agree to receive these types of automatic updates without any additional notice. On the other side of the coin so to speak -- if your computer gets infections of Malware can MS be sued ? :p Section 13 /C Malware protection. Microsoft cares about protecting your device from malware. The software will turn on malware protection if other protection is not installed or has expired. To do so, other antimalware software will be disabled or may have to be removed. |

| 1415995 | 2016-02-16 23:33:00 | I'm using Windows Firewall Control software to keep an eye on the outgoing traffic in W10. If you have Notifications set, a window comes up asking for permission every time a program wants to send data. The notifications feature costs a few dollars, but you can install the WFC software on multiple PCs if you want to. | rumpty (2863) | ||
| 1415996 | 2016-02-17 00:32:00 | Thanks for the replies guys. With the new CPU I have to upgrade anyway and I guess I am being a bit paranoid about it. It is a sign of the times that privacy is gone, besides if I have anything truely private there is always Trucrypt. |

| 1415997 | 2016-02-17 01:13:00 | From a link on one of the links above, it looks like the data packets being sent home to Daddy MS are pretty small, so probably wont be your personal data (history of what your doing, well maybee) There is one hell of alot of sites that this 'telemetry' gets sent to (there are lists of the known ones) . Its not sent to just one central server . :confused: Also ,if really paranoid, no guarantee that those 3rd party apps or firewalls will stop all the data collection anyway . If MS was really so evil, they would do the 'real telemetry' in a way that couldnt be ever blocked :banana |
