Sure, a great update. But I refuse to use a version of Windows that takes such a cavalier attitude to privacy and end-user control and will not consider using it until both are substantially and verifiably altered in favour of the user.
As the unfortunate saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” In this case Microsoft is turning into Google, and is happy to do it. Let’s see how well that works for them when the corporates start turning it down because they can’t run it on their employees’ computers for fear of breaking any number of corporate or legal obligations. A shame. Meantime, I’ll manage with Windows 8.1 and Classic Shell. I can turn off all the spyware, despite Microsoft’s best efforts to shove it at Windows users using software updates with nondescript titles. And if MS will not stop invading its users, well we have Mac OS X, for now. A very good thing indeed that this nonsense is taking form just as I’m switching platforms. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
