When the torrent sites and black sites are worried about a security leak, that is a true security problem.
Pirate sites ban Windows 10 over privacy worries

The article is about paranoid pirate sites, not security leaks. They are worried their pirated games and software are being reported because of some wording being twisted in the privacy agreement.
Hate on W10 all you want but at least get the facts straight.

When I finally do immerse myself into Windows 10 I'll make sure to reference articles like Ars Technica: Windows 10 doesn’t offer much privacy by default: Here’s how to fix it
The loss of Cortana? I never liked Bob or especially Clippy, and you can also add Merlin the wizard, Rover the dog, and Links the cat to the list.

Y'all gotta admit you pirated a software once. I admit I am one of them. Reason why there are pirates is because of difficulties of purchasing it like overwhelmingly high tax. There is a religion for pirates fyi

Good read and so was the full review
The only thing that saved 10tp was the new iso builds to clean install for me anyway
Many updates I don't believe ever really installed many said waiting to be installed forever :/
Could of been for features that were blocked in group policy which I did block a lot of them all that I found

In a few months there will be "strippers", which will disable/remove all of the tracking, auto-updates, DRM & phone home "features" from W10.Last edited by lehnerus2000; 31 Aug 2015 at 08:54. Reason: Syntax

Pirate sites ban Windows 10 over privacy worries
Posted: 30 Aug 2015
SourceThere's been a good amount of privacy freak-out over Windows 10.
Concerns have been sparked by things such as the Wi-Fi password sharing feature and the fact that Windows 10 by default shares a lot of your personal information - contacts, calendar details, text and touch input, location data, and what Ars Technica calls "a whole lot more" - with Microsoft's servers.
Of late, that paranoia has spiked over the notion that Microsoft plans to keep people from running conterfeit software.
The notion came out of Microsoft's new Windows 10 update procedures, which, coupled with the company's Services Agreement, could allow Redmond to block pirated content and unauthorized hardware and reach right out and wipe torrents clean off of people's hard drives.
Fear spread that, in the words of one report, "Microsoft has practically baked DRM [digital rights management] into the core of Windows 10".
You can't make this stuff up, lol
