Windows 10 update experience – what’s wrong with me?
1) No, I don’t want my voice data saved on your “cloud” to train your voice data recognition.
2) No, I don’t want to give out my general location.
3) No, I don’t want my computer to be physically traceable.
4) No, I don’t want to share information about my website use and application use.
5) No, I don’t want to share data about my inking and typing.
6) No, I don’t want tailored suggestions
7) No, I don’t want personalized ads.
I don’t want my “personal” computer (or is it your computer?) intruding into my life and private space.
I gave Microsoft some short feedback, telling them that their OS is intrusive and attempts to collect as many personal details as possible, which is invasive of my personal privacy.
I get it. All these years, I’ve been listening as the corporate side of the “discussion” gets shriller and shriller, demanding or begging me for all my personal data to be placed on “the cloud”.
So, “NO” is my response. End of “discussion” until next time.
Windows 10….. Almost impossible to avoid the conversion from Win 8 The frequent updates are unavoidable. The nagging becomes demanding to the point if you answer No it means yes and another intrusion into your hard drive ensues. I have virtually emptied my onboard hard drive to use stand-alone units that disconnect automatically when the machine is hibernating. I have Win 7 on another laptop which I hope to keep out of the Windows clutches. The 2 MAC units are probably not immune to Apple interrogations but they are not as blatant in the demands for access to my information.

This guide, however, provides an extensive list of reasons why you might choose to use Linux instead of Windows 10 because what is good for one person isn’t necessarily good for another.
