![]() ![]() I doubt there will ever be an update that "accidentally" changed the privacy settings to maximum. Windows 10 collects all kinds of data and phones home, with no option to disable it (besides downloading third party programs of dubious origins, registry hacks, etc.), and even if you do disable the options, there's no guarantee windows will respect them, since some updates apparently reset the choices. Windows 7 is not a saint, but at least the data it collects is optional, and it warns you before doing anything with it. Privacy is the biggest issue in this century, you can't just say "privacy fuss" and move on. just because media went batshit crazy on the privacy issue like it's something big doesn't mean that win7/8 isn't "spyin'" on you as they call it. like you ever spend 20hours reading eula before installing windows. ![]() I don't see what the big "privacy fuss" is all about. You know that old adage: "If you're not paying, you are the product". Windows 10, especially, feels like a "free to play" windows. We gave up everything that made windows good for what? Metro tiles? Want to customize how windows update downloads patches, and when/whether to apply them? Tough luck. Want to set a program to automatically gain elevated privileges? Tough luck. ![]() UAC is a linux ripoff (not that it's a bad idea - far from it, it was long overdue), with zero customization options. This is a trend that started with vista, by the way. Many options and features that were available and easily accessible were either removed or hidden, becoming accessible only via registry hacks or the use of third party programs. That's just a symptom of what, for me, is a "dumbing down" of windows, apparently to make it more accessible to average people, but to the detriment of power users like me. Since you asked, for me personally it's not even the metro interface. Also i dig the new "flat" look because simply win 7 (we're talking defaults here) look like garbage for todays standards (i know you can shut that off and all but ok.). but performance in general vs 7 (fps and other things - > way better on 10, even 8.1 was way faster). and trust me, i'd rather have an updated windows system then some linux (i'm not saying that linux is bad, but it's got a lot of problems & driver / partition issues and so on.), because it runs fast, supports everything and their new "stuff" is somewhat taken from linux (multiple display desktops and such ideas) which is nice to see. your browser collects it, google collects it, everyone collects it. Sending data through internet is done no matter what windows you use. i don't see what the big "privacy fuss" is all about. ![]() i was on xp/7/8.1/10 and i can tell you the best windows for me were 8.1, but now i'm suddenly more into 10 and they're taking me over from 8.1 (yes i know how everyone hated that metro menu).Īnd when it gets to "normal" users like me, you, someone else, and so on. I'm using them for 3 months (and upgraded from 10240 to 10586) and i can't be happier. I don't see why everyone is throwing so much hate on win10. ![]()
