Why do we use MS's terminology for it (telemetry) when it is essentially theft of private and sensitive data?
From what I have gathered, they are snarfing up my browsing data and what applications I have installed. I don't have the time or energy to jump through the hoops to figure out how to stop this blatant invasion of my privacy. On top of that, I've read that win10 shows ads in the actual OS. That is so beyond unacceptable that I am stuck on an unsupported OS (7)
As a result, I now have only two windows7 boxes - one for gaming and one that I use as a front end for some specialized audio hardware. Each box is dedicated to that purpose and is relegated to a subnet. 20 years ago, 90% of my computing was on windows - now it is <10%. Soon, I'll get another mac to do all my audio work on and, eventually, I'll relegate my gaming to Linux available titles.
