In my Windows 10 installation of course.
Apparently they've finally completed work on their replicator drivers.

triple_l: anyone who cares about having a minimum control over her/his own computer should avoid windows 10 even if microsoft is giving it for free
why?
forced auto-updates of everything not only security updates

I know the thread is getting long to read, but I did already point this out five days back here. Different article, same message tho.

JMich: Isn't he the same guy that said Windows 10 will be subscription based? You do know that his credibility is shit, right?
Let me read his article now to see what he rants now about.

Edit: Read the article. Continues to FUD like crazy. No source in the bad news, no references, no examples. And calling the (hideable) Win10 notification adware does seem like he truly doesn't know what he's talking about.
I've seen that claim in a few places and I would really like it to be true. There's just too many people that fail to install security updates to let it continue the way it's been going. I think the idea of letting enterprise out would make sense.

Where I suspect it might not be true is that they'd be adding features rather than just bug fixes. That's a bit of a red-flag that something isn't quite right. There's plenty of reason to automatically install security updates, but no good reason to force features to be installed.

I'm not even sure it would be possible for them to do as those extra features frequently come with their own licensing agreement.
If you install Windows 10 you give Microsoft the right to collect every data over you. Passwords, Emails, Pictures, songs that you written there, games, for all Microsoft has the right to take it and give it to someone else.

Actually, I re-searched this thread indeed to post this highly useful article about privacy settings:

http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html


I will still go for Win 10, but will certainly follow the suggestions in the article, as thankfully by manual install and selecting right settings the data collection issues can be circumvented, it seems.

I was .g. bit blown away that your internet bandwidth would be "borrowed" for Windows updates distribution as if in peer-networks, or that local or cloud data would not be differentiated - by default, unless specifically counter-acted.

Thanks dome.fi for pointing the way!
