Privacy Statements for Windows Technical Preview
Wow, thank you for an informative thread, and thank you especially for this privacy warning. I understand that Win10 will be free for most users, and that should trigger cautions. MS is not known to be a charity, and these privacy intrusions are very troubling. If something is not done soon on the privacy front, there will be no going back. On maybe we've already lost the battle.
I think Win7 will be recorded as the high point of OS design. OSes will continue to become more powerful and to do more things, but in terms of simplicity and user control, as well as getting the job done, I don't think it gets better. MS seems to be increasingly dumbing down the interface even as the fundamentals get more removed from user control.
It may well be time for many businesses to give Linux a hard look. I have a Mint (Mate') VM here that is excellent classic OS design. In addition to its own progs, it can run virtually any Windows prog through Wine. WPS Office is an excellent suite for most users. And it's all free, and as far as I know, it doesn't have any of the privacy concerns that you now get with MS. It only lags somewhat in current driver sophistication, but that is not a show-stopper.
