Not just foreign governments, but what about highly regulated industries like healthcare or finance.
They're one config error away from having insider trader information or someone's STD test result in a log file that might live forever and be accessible by dozes if not hundreds of in-house devs tasked with improving parts of Windows. Or, even worse, a 3rd party dev given access to the crash reports for their app so they can fix a problem.
I'm sure lots and lots of safeguards in place to prevent the above, but just not collecting the data would be the most comforting approach.
All this on top of the fact that you can't disable the Store unless you have an Enterprise license. I am forced to spend money on a product for employees that includes advertisements for games and other huge distractions. Not to mention all the preinstalled stuff for small businesses who don't buy imaged machines.
There needs to be an "Windows 10 Actually Pro" level that is below enterprise but is what Pro used to mean.
- ethbro 10y agoI would be extremely interested in how they maintain HIPAA compliance in insurance shops. Having worked with universal logging in that context, it was eventually decided to be too much of a risk and we specifically neutered any features that would trigger HIPAA issues out of our product. Customers are going to screw up configs. And when HIPAA charges you with $damages x number of releases, inadvertent logging can add up fast. EDIT: Unless MS got their logging center HIPAA certified and has a special contract they sign with insurance shops. Not impossible, but seems improbable.
