Works on Windows 7 & 8 too for older tracking/phonehome stuff.
And Windows 7 users should install GWX control panel to prevent forced upgrades

- cm2187 11y agoI would be curious to know what spybot anti beacon can't block. Is it enough?
- ck2 11y agowell since you must keep up with windows updates I am sure there is some information passed to microsoft that cannot be blocked during that process it might be possible someday like xprivacy on android to send empty or bogus information for data that cannot be blocked
- cm2187 11y agoBut the other thing is that it relies on group policies to block windows features. But I do not know is what data leak cannot be blocked with group policies (if any), even in the current version of windows.
