Hmmm, that kind of sounds like the way Facebook does things. Think you're
Privacy settings are the way you like them? Well, maybe, until the next time
Facebook makes a change that is, then you have to do it all over again.

Yes, and about the updates and the privacy issues: it has been said that
even if you turn them off, eventually, they turn back on. Pam.

First I don't like microsoft automatically installs updates I want the
control to decide what does and doesn't get installed. Second I have the
search box disabled in windows 7 don't want it. I also don't like that MS
can go in and remotely remove a program. What if they remove a valid
program. I also don't like the privacy concerns. When these issues are
resolved to my satisfaction then and only then will I look at windows 10.

This is not in any way meant as a criticism, but as has already been pointed
out, I think people's fear of Windows 10 is based on misinformation.
There's so much of that floating around, despite resources on Bookshare and
Google. There are many people on this List who are successfully, and
happily, using Windows 10. It's not as if Microsoft is making us pay for
the upgrade! It's free for Heaven's sake! IE11, Firefox and Chrome are
still there, so access to the internet will stay the same, as will word
processors and e-mail programs. "My Computer" or "Computer" is now called
"This PC". So? There are so many options that allow a person to configure
settings, the Start screen and menu, the Search box, the Taskbar, This PC...
The Desktop is still there. Privacy settings and Cortana can be turned off,
indeed, Cortana is not available with all the privacy settings turned off so
that Microsoft cannot get its eyes, ears and fingers into the computer..
I had sighted help for the actual upgrade, and I did ask my tech to take off
all the stuff on the right side of the Start screen, only because he could
do it far faster with the mouse than I could with the keyboard. When I
called the Microsoft Disability Desk with a question about something, the
guy commented that my screen looked exactly like Windows 7, which is how I
want it. If I have to tab or arrow around five times to get to something on
the right side of the screen, that's not an efficient use of my time. Get
it off my screen! Smile.
If someone does not know where something is, or what it's called precisely,
the Search box is a wonderful resource.
Google is still my Home Page, and Google is still my Search Engine. And the
Search box on the Start Menu in Windows 10 can be set to exclude the
internet, so do I care if Microsoft uses Bing to bring up internet results.
If I want the Internet, I go to my Google Home Page and ask Google. Smile.
A sighted person may want Cortana, but Window-Eyes already talks to me!
Edge is not yet accessible, but as someone pointed out, there are three
other Browsers to choose from.
JMO. Smile.

Microsoft was stopped *in court* many years ago from forcing its browser on
us. So it's not going to happen no matter what the fear mongers say.
