Yeah -- it's crazy how much people care about "real world" privacy, yet don't see/understand the issues with online privacy. :-/
Apparently Windows 10 shares personally-identifiable information, even when you tell it not to!

Don't get your hopes up. It's not what I'd call a start menu...

i'm with the doomsayers, particularly Tiny und Maxx :biggrin:
from what i've read, even the humble Solitaire is going to a pay-to-play format. not that such wasn't foretold by Win7 and it's subscription-only Office app, and MS's idea of 'Productivity and Tools' being an online storage thingy, a label printing app and a dvd player; and that being on a supposed 'business' machine, at £500, with which one could do no business without spending more money and time shopping around for 'hard copies' (yeah, cos most people in the UK have sub-2.5Mbps broadband, despite what the official [fiddled] figures say).
the all of it, though, is likely to be a scam to borrow more money (promoted by silly graphs and charts of projected income) with which to buy-out or strangle whomever they see as competition.

Are you sure about that? I find that very hard to believe, unless we're talking about not living near any towns/cities and also not counting fiber connections...
Personally I don't know a single person with sub-2.5 speeds apart from one member of family, and in their case it's cause Sky and BT refuse to acknowledge that there's evidently an issue with their line, saying that it's due to them being "too far from the exchange" which is utter BS because I live like 2 minutes walk from them and have no issues.
