Linux Lite Forums

Apparently, according to the youtube video link below, when one signs up to Win 10, you're agreeing to a massive invasion of privacy and security.  If the following is true then this is extremely worrying.

About half-way through the youtube video, the phone-call finishes and an English guy gives you step-by-step advice on his PC on how to inactivate win10's 'spy-ware'. Worth watching if you want to use win10.

Thankfully, I decided to stop at win8.1 and anyway my main OS for everyday use has been and will continue to be LL - a lot simpler & safer!

Yep, you're right - win10 is essentially a glorified trojan horse sent by microsoft...

Beware geeks bearing gifts?

I can hear the linux haters crowing now (free isos and downloads and applications). I do Windows 10 to tune motorcycles (I keep it offline mostly)
I keep a Windows 7 laptop as a backup in my bag for tuning motorcycles. In case the Windows 10 one goes snafu.

The wife is a die hard Windows 10 user because of her work environment and so her personal laptop is also dialed in to interface with her work server in her office.

We are just all screwed I guess. Glad that I won't live forever to see the results of all of this.
