Windows 10 and the new Browser supposedly gives Microsoft much more feed back as to how you use the computer, where you go on the web, what you do when you are there, and what you buy. I imagine anything written in MS Office, whether it be a Spread Sheet, or a Document, is probably available to those who wish to view the contents of these files.
If you own a Small business, you might wish to keep some things of your business privet. do you really want a flood of Bankruptcy lawyers sending you their Electronic Business Cards, letting you know, their Services are available? All because someone was able to peek at your Quick Book files? or maybe you were stupid enough to buy some Sex Toy On Line, and now an ad pops up when your best friend, who is a bad Gossiper, is borrowing your lap top to do some work of his own. Or maybe your friend writes a fiery letter off to a Politician, but because it was written on your machine, those watchers think you are the one who wrote the nasty letter, and not your friend. We are edging more and more into a culture where everyone has to be careful about what they say, and to who you say it. Even though some much is said about being Tolerant, I find today there is less and less tolerance. when using your computer, always, and I do mean, always have the understanding, that nothing on it, and anything you do on it, could be seen by someone else. big Brother is watching, and has been watching, and probably lots of Little Brothers too. If you want real privacy, but still want to use the computer, guess you will need to have two systems. One that is hooked up to the internet, and another that is not, and never will be. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
