| 1407553 | 2015-08-29 00:42:00 | I will never use Windows 10, it is 100% malware. I also have updates disabled as there is more risk from Microsoft than any other source. The only update I did in W7 was SP1. I am now using W8.1 because it is faster than W7 and still have Updates turned off. I have Avira & Malwarebytes . When Windows decides to download 450Mb of updates, are these deleted later, or does Windows become bloated? | mzee (3324) | ||

| 1407556 | 2015-08-30 00:10:00 | It does not worry me too much. But I think that if they word gets around that MS are collecting a lot of data, then either people will stop getting it so that MS will change their policies. Or some third party apps will be developed so that people can turn it all off easily. It is probably illegal - so that will also stop them once they get found out in the main stream press. |

NZ law won't apply as you are 'exporting' your information. Under US law you are a 'foreign national' (and probably wear a towel on your head) and have nearly zero legal protection at all. As to where the data is actually stored and what law (if any) actually applies is probably a matter that needs debate. |

Its not illegal -- When ever someone installs a program or Operating System you always at some point have to click "I Agree" to the terms and conditions other wise it wont install. Simply saying " I didn't read them" before clicking is no excuse. ( I've personally had that excuse used in court - guess who won ) :D One part of the 45 Pages worth ( which I did Read from start to finish) :tui: :lol: Says you agree to the usage. windows-10-recording-users-every-move-358952 (www.newsweek.com) Several links to terms, privacy etc in that link. Guess its one of those things, you want to use Windows OS or Google or many other services, you need to agree. Many don't like it, but there are ways being developed all the time to block some aspects as its been mentioned in earlier posts :) |

| 1407559 | 2015-08-30 22:48:00 | Excellent info on W10. I had clicked a Pop up in Taskbar/W10 icon (I applied for the free upgrade and am inline for it) that said "Cortana is watching you" about Cortana and what is does and how it can be disabled......closing gate after horse has bolted. And I find the info that new Windows updates for W7 have these 'telemetry' things in them. No more W7 updates for me. And I decided I would not accept the free upgrade to 10. Good stuff Wainuitech, thanks. |

Good stuff Wainuitech, thanks. How can a personal assistant like Cortana work if it doesn't know about you? You trust Google more than Microsoft? |
