Windows 10 Technical Preview


What part of "Technical Preview" do you fear dummies still not
understand seven months later?

Microsoft launched its Windows 10 on Tuesday and is giving all members of its
Windows Insider Programme a free look see at the new Windows 10. Microsoft is giving
the Windows 10 Technical Preview version as a gesture of openness and willingness to
collaborate with developers and users and get their feedback on the ultimate Windows 10
that it may launch by the end of this year.

Backdoor?


Logging is not a "back door."

As more and more users are jumping the queue to download the Windows 10 through the
Windows Insider Program, almost all of them have forgotten to check the Privacy Policy
and Terms and Conditions users accept while downloading the Windows 10.


Nobody forgot to check. Everybody with any brains knows they
are doing this. Microsoft told you click-fast dummies up front
that they were going to be doing it and if you installed it and
ran it, you had to agree to it and all the logging.

When the TP is over, the logging will be removed. If it is
discovered later that it was not, the entire world can then sue
Microsoft and choose whether to continue using the product.

Google has been doing this for years. Google has been mining
your email, social media, chats and phone calls more
aggressively than Facebook, yet you whiners say nothing about
them.

No matter what M$loft say or do to sway or even purchase public opinion
about anything to do with their product or organization, will never convince
me of their value. Sure everything everywhere gets logged nowadays, no
biggie - just don't like M$loft.

It doesn't matter what you think.

Microsoft enables people. If you aren't one of the enabled, you
are one of the left out.

Of course it does. That's why the "disabled" use it so much.

So sorry. I meant "mentally" disabled, not the kind that had
various parts of their bodies chopped off/made inoperative by
genetics/chemicals/sickness/violence.
See ? I'm a nice guy.

Why should anyone believe what you think matters?

They sure enable a lot of virus and malware writers! They are in turn
futilely chased by the protection program writers... I'll stick with
Linux and leave you in your "enabled" world...
