Those of you who are using the common methods for blocking Windows 7 and

Does anyone know if Microsoft will be offering a paid version of Win10 that
doesn't spy on us?
I suspect the medical business will need it to satisfy HIPPA laws.

Doubtful. MS has belatedly learned that the "real money" is NOT in
selling software but, rather, selling *people*! Always last to the
dinner table, count on them to now excploit the hell out of this
"sudden realization" -- as if their business depended on it!

Relying on ANYTHING inside your PC to block MS is pure folly.

Install a firewall upstream and invest the time to figure out what
you truly want to block/permit.
