That's surprising. I would expect the Enterprise edition to perform as advertised. It's a major revenue source and this violates all kinds of security policies.

That's surprising. I would expect the Enterprise edition to perform as advertised. It's a major revenue source and this violates all kinds of security policies. I find the author's point about people using third-party programs to stop Windows spying, and potentially impairing their security, very telling. He's absolutely correct. I use programs called Shutup10 and WinAero Tweaker to stop the telemetry myself, and both of these programs have settings that would potentially impair your security, primarily by stopping Windows Updates entirely. So the real question is this-- is this debacle the consumer's fault or Microsoft's? I know which side I'm on.
