Computerworld: Microsoft to get pushy about upgrading to Windows 10

[bkkyosemite]

27. I read an article from a computer expert

some time ago (about six months ago). He stated that Windows 10 has the ability to look at all on your computer (ALL). That to shut the system back door down is almost impossible. That he was able to shut some of it down but not all. He cautioned that this OS is capable of seeing all you have on your computer. I don't know if true but he seem convincing.

A computer guy shut off my Windows updates. He said they actually send stuff through their updates to mess up your computer so you will update to a new system.

Edit: I found two articles similar to the one I was talking about. You give permission for so much with 10. The following are excerpts and links:

"In simple words, Windows 10 Technical Preview is a collecting your voice, your chats, and your voice. Albeit it is doing so with your permission. The Privacy Policy also goes on to deliver further shocks."

"The first condition of Microsoft’s privacy statement says that they “will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: 1. comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies”.

In response to the revelation, one critic on Reddit suggests that “You’d have to be out of your damn mind to run a BIP32 Bitcoin wallet on Windows 10, which includes both desktop and online BIP32 wallets. If you want your wallet seed to get sent straight to the NSA, running Windows 10 is a good way to do that. It’s not just the NSA either; it’s whoever else M$ wants to partner with and whoever hacks them and their partners. This means the NSA, local law enforcement, courts, Russian and Chinese hackers, etc.”

"Other critics, including the technology experts at the Verge and Ars Technica, argue that Windows 10 marks the end of cloud-free computing. According to a report last week by Ars Technica, computers running Windows 10 send back huge amounts of data to Microsoft via remote servers, even if features such as Cortana and OneDrive are disabled.
