As for the amounts -- I highly doubt that's accurate. Roughly then each day 4320000 & over a week by those figures 30240000 have changed ? and if that figure is still what MS are going on then by this time next year it will be 1577847000 upgrades. Well done MS - created the biggest botnet in the world. I say botnet because by default Windows is using other peoples computers to get updates and features that most have no idea its happening. (Some may be in for a shock when they get their internet usage bill ) Botnet - a number of Internet computers that, although their owners are unaware of it, have been set up to forward transmissions to other computers on the Internet.	wainuitech (129)
1405296	2015-08-04 22:06:00	Well done MS - created the biggest botnet in the world. to be fair, is this any different to Skype or the many music streaming services that can/do use a PC as a node ? Not saying its OK, just saying is this the way of the future ? Im starting to see high data usage on various company PC's thats usually traced back to Online radio/music streaming . No one was forced to install Win10. Its allways better to wait a few months while things are sorted out I really cant understand the huge rush to install Win10 . Too many people got caught up in the hype .	1101 (13337)

As a admin though its possible to block such sites in a business. if peopel are concerned about privacy, and used teh default install method, just recieved a very informative article that takes you through the steps on how to disable all most of the personal info back to Microsoft thats turned on by default: windows-10-violates-your-privacy-by-default-heres-how-you-can-protect-yourself (www.techrepublic.com) As for the updating and using a persons computer to gain data from someone else, in the Settings/ Windows Updates/ Advanced options/ Choose How updates are delivered -- you can change various settings. :) In Bold --- So true ;) Only reason I've installed it on a workshop PC is to learn where everything is so they can be repaired ( and plenty of that at the moment) :p	wainuitech (129)
1405298	2015-08-04 22:56:00	Adding above: As for usage -- Just checked this months, HOLEY CRAP, just as well I'm on unlimited its 145GB OVER what I would normally use in a month :horrified	wainuitech (129)

I just see windows as a means to get on the internet. But now will focus/analyse the OP system a bit. I realize people heve a vested (or keen) interest to do so. But...thanks for the insightful posts, and links in this thread and the tech preview thread. Waitech, Dugimodo, Gary, Mercer, MZee, et. I spent a lot of time to read most of the posts. Actually first time I have ever navigated through the start menu, control panel, device menu, System, etc, in a insightful way. Even visited event viewer - amin events - but it logged over 350 errors (!) - yet I don't think it manifested itself notably during the install. Sources in error messages being: Device Set Up Manager; Distributed Com, MS App Model Runtime, Service Control Manager, etc. Also about machine default permissions not granting local activation permission for the COM Server. I guess then not to really worry or bother about these errors? As OP running fine...seemingly	kahawai chaser (3545)
