As eager as I am to hop on the Windows 10 hate bandwagon, I've gotta agree with you. The author should disclose the original source if nothing else.
At this time, the closest thing to a source is "Some Czech guy did a traffic analysis of data<link to an unrelated disclose.tv page> produced by Windows 10, and released his findings the other day."
This is just appalling journalism if nothing else, and hurts both sides of the case.
EDIT: I retract some parts of that. The link to the source (in Czech) is tucked away discreetly at the bottom of the page: http://aeronet.cz/news/analyza-windows-10-ve-svem-principu-jde-o-pouhy-terminal-na-sber-informaci-o-uzivateli-jeho-prstech-ocich-a-hlasu/ http://aeronet.cz/news/analyza-windows-10-ve-svem-principu-j...

- amyjess 11y agoThis came up the last time this article was posted on HN (that time, it was a Google Translate of the aeronet source). It was discussed in the top comment and the replies to it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10053420 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10053420
- verandaguy 11y agoThanks for providing a source. The translated link you provided doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in their reliability. I'll believe what they're saying once they provide the exact methods they used to get these results in order to corroborate them.
