You have to take a stand one way or another. Cannot accept all stunts of MS.
w10 is perfect and will be so for all eternity, only some tinfoil hat idiots would ever doubt it ...that same kind of brainless people who wondered if Titanic was safe or Concorde could crash. Security & encryption? Totally unbreachable of course (until something doesn't go as planned, like another 'big organization' experienced with it's state of the art system of the time, Enigma).
And the U.S. Department of Defense will for sure rely on Cortana to conduct all future war operations, Hey Cortana, should we bomb Moscow ?

Yes I do use email. I check it every couple of weeks and then delete them. I would be over doing myself it I sent 20 emails a year. No Skype or any such thing. I have no problem talking to people face to face. One does not have to be a important person to have a desire to be left alone. Sometimes I will go 30 to 40 days with out seeing another person. I don't have a problem with that at all. Not many I care to see.I guess email is also not your thing; can't imagine you using email, every word you receive and send in cloud, with your email address and other personal information, available not only to your mail provider but also to the provider of everyone you have ever sent or received email.
I will see people the first of next month at the V.A. hospital. To make it a day I will see my barber and get a haircut. I'm starting to look like a sheep dog.
What all this means is simple just like me.
Some need lot of communication using computing devices and some don't.
Some need lot of social media and some don't.
Some like to be left alone and some don't.
Their is not a right or wrong. Having the choice of being which ever one chooses is in my simple opinion is always best.
If someone hacked one of my systems they would get no personal information because I don't keep personal information on my systems.
Mr. Kari I hope this helps you understand that for me a operating system that snoops is not my cup of tea. I use Google and I know I can't stop them from tracking but I can stop W-10 from snooping by not using W-10.
Jack, I could not have said it any better - for one because English is a foreign language for me. You expressed exactly my own thoughts - thank you.
