1) Internet web sites have always been "lit up with speculation".
2) Microsoft's "spying" has been going on since Windows Vista was released, and speculation has gone along with it.
3) Since the 1990's, next year has always been "the year of desktop Linux."
- Aoyagi 11y agoPeople keep saying that there was spying going on from XP or Vista, but "spying" isn't a binary state. The amount of intended data-slurping has increased incomparably.
- yuhong 11y agoYou can choose between telemetry levels in Win10 though.
- habitue 11y agoI think Navarr is fully aware of the Linux desktop meme. It's clearly tongue-in-cheek
- Navarr 11y agoYes, thank you. Though honestly the people who really do care about this will see the coming year as year of the Linux desktop. And to me it seems like a lot of HNers care that Windows is sending all this telemetry. (Aren't we the same group that is obsessed with A/B tests and recording analytics on everything a user does on our website?)
- Moter8 11y agoAgree. There seem to be hundreds of analytics services. Use of those is totally correct, obviously. The more specific the merrier.
