One hell of a scary article from an unreliable source, isn't it?
BFG


Not much sense in arguing with you. You actually believe this.
Why do you post links that show you how to turn data collection
off, then complain about data collection? If you're not willing
to take the simple steps required, shame on you.
Here's a very recent article about Win 10 "spying."
http://www.laptopmag.com/articles/mi...0-data-collect
ion It includes links to descriptions and names of what is
collected. I used the following search argument is Google.
"2017 windows 10 microsoft data collection"


The same guy that said NT didn't have 16 bit code? He wants to
argue about how smart he is.


Do you understand that NT isn't windows 9x? 16bit code is emulated
under NT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT
NT was the first purely 32-bit version of Windows, whereas its
consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-
bit/32-bit hybrids. It is a multi-architecture operating system.
Initially, it supported several CPU architectures, including IA-32,
MIPS, DEC Alpha, PowerPC and later Itanium. The latest versions
support x86 (more specifically IA-32 and x64) and ARM. Major features
of the Windows NT family include Windows Shell, Windows API, Native
API, Active Directory, Group Policy, Hardware Abstraction Layer,
NTFS, BitLocker, Windows Store, Windows Update, and Hyper-V.

There's no native 16bit code in NT. The fact you can run 16bit code
on 32bit versions of NT does NOT mean NT actually has 16bit code
present. It's EMULATED. Do you understand what emulated means?
