Nobody ever said you have to like it; truth is that your whining about personal data being open for everyone is kind of a moot point being that A) you are on the internet, and B) your information is already ON the internet regardless of your operating system. To give you an idea of just how ludicrous that argument is, I work for Lockheed. The Chinese and Russians have obtained top secret documents FROM Lockheed Martin servers that most definitely do not operate on Windows 10. Your personal data is at risk no matter how secure your computer is. If you think that your web browser is secure, think again. If someone wants your information, chances are about 99% that they "already" have it. Unless you monitor your networks bandwidth down to the ubit, Im 100% certain you dont know what information is being downloaded or uploaded to your computer at any given time. And just so you know Im not trying to blow smoke up your ass? I remember back a few years ago about some man identified a rootkit being installed on his computer every time he put a Sony Cd in his dvd drive. You can read about that here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_B...ootkit_scandal Just because you hate Microsoft and think Windows 10 sucks doesnt mean that your chosen software doesnt suck either.

But lets tout off this hate microsoft bandwagon. I was in a classroom lecture not too long about about which o/s was the most susceptible to external penetrations. Care to guess which system was the easiest to exploit? Not a Microsoft product by the way, and none of the Apple fanbois there were smiling after class. Believe it or not, the hardest one to penetrate was Vista. Not because it was totally secure, but because nobody really wanted to try. Im not saying that makes it true, just using it as an example. And I also agree with your opinion on everyone not researching everything on their own. Lawyers and judges would argue with that one (and I can argue against them about that too) that ignorance of the law is no excuse to break the law. Truth is people need to educate themselves on what is and what isnt installed on their computers. After my 5th year of using Spybot S&D, Avast, Ccleaner, Tune Up Utilities, and a host of other network monitoring software and VPNs, Im about tired of trying to stay anonymous online. You cant even get that on the dark net.

That said, that is not for me not even the main issue with W10, although it's related. There are two main issues: (i) forced updates - because this breaks stuff, never mind the constant reboots resorting from that, and (ii) in order to maximise snoopability (I said it was related) security of W10 is being undermined.

The main reason for people to stick with MS is for legacy software that runs on MS platforms. It is certainly not the OS itself. |

170 of your students? Im pretty sure that they arent interested in your private life or the answer to the tests. There are easier ways to cheat than hacking, like texting the answers in class. However, its about even odds that your computer maybe infected already and part of a botnet. Every website you visit, I can almost guarantee that they install a tracking cookie. Google is nefarious in this, Yahoo is certainly guilty of it, and Im not even going to mention Safari. So's to say that someone "out there" knows you exist. If you want to know just how good ppl are at hacking, all you have to do is research the beast of Kandahar and how the Iranians managed to capture it. Nobody has to want your information to get it. Ive recently seen a coworkers face in a local newspaper for DUI sponsored by mugshots.com. Hell, Ive seen my mugshot online, and I havent been arrested for anything other than traffic tickets in over 8 years. You would be very surprised at how much of your life is actually posted online for all to see. Everyone is worried that big brother may be watching your every online movement. No, its not just big brother; its also the psychotic neighbor next door who is watching you from behind closed curtains., Hell, I see vintage erotica forums using almost 10 cookies. That sounds like a lot to me, doesnt it? When the girl you are about to go out on a date with knows your credit score, or whether or not you are a sexual predator or can recite your current address.............

MY TWO CENTS
While I'm all for discussion and airing of opinions, I found this thread used to be very useful, and very informative. And, as I'm just barely able to turn my computer on the bulk of posts especially rickdanger's were very helpful. I'm hoping that the recent spate of back and forth posts tapers off and the helpful tips, what to do and not do, etc become more prevalent.

You - Microsoft is the only company cramming it down your throat Me - No its not, so is everyone else You - stop bullying me! Me - Im not bullying you, Im informing you. You - You tried to throw me under the bus! Me - Think you fell out of the bus.... You - teacher, he said a swear word! The only person acting childish here is you. Because obviously from your point of view, Im the evil Microsoft bulwark boogieman out to get you. Pull the tin foil hat off and instead go find your own opinion instead of continuing the ride on the hate microsoft wagon.

Utley, enough is enough
So, you seem to be one of those Microsoft lovers.
Satia Nadella, and Bill Gates, should be proud of you. It is people like you who made Microsoft's CEOs think they can do anything without demur. I think of Satia Nadella but also of his illustrious predecessors. I think, perhaps, you own Microsoft shares. Well, good of you. But, you see, this thread is devoted to Windows 10, in principle for aiding those who have problems with it. It also eventually allows those who like it inconditionally (that is if there are such people). So you seem to like Microft and especially Windows 10. Very well. Then prove it by talking about your experience with Windows 10, while staying civil. But, please, cease addressing people like you did. We might think you are bullying us. That is not what this thread is about. I tell you this without having negative feelings about you. I hope you will understand. Have a good day.
