Microsoft’s Windows 10 has permission to watch your every move

[size=50]Windows 10 is spying on almost everything you do – here’s how to opt out[/size]

Windows 10 is amazing. Windows 10 is fantastic. Windows 10 is glorious. Windows 10 is faster, smoother and more user-friendly than any Windows operating system that has come before it. Windows 10 is everything Windows 8 should have been, addressing nearly all of the major problems users had with Microsoft’s previous-generation platform in one fell swoop.
But there’s something you should know: As you read this article from your newly upgraded PC, Windows 10 is also spying on nearly everything you do.
DON’T MISS: Stop Windows 10 spying dead in its tracks with one free app

It’s your own fault if you don’t know that Windows 10 is spying on you. That’s what people always say when users fail to read through a company’s terms of service document, right?
Well, here is Microsoft’s 12,000-word service agreement. Some of it is probably in English. We’re pretty sure it says you can’t steal Windows or use Windows to send spam, and also that Microsoft retains the right to take possession of your first-born child if it so chooses. And that’s only one of several documents you’ll have to read through.
Actually, here’s one excerpt from Microsoft’s privacy statement that everyone can understand:

Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: 1.comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; 2.protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of the services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; 3.operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or 4.protect the rights or property of Microsoft, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services – however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.

If that sentence sent shivers down your spine, don’t worry. As invasive as it is, Microsoft does allow Windows 10 users to opt out of all of the features that might be considered invasions of privacy. Of course, users are opted in by default, which is more than a little disconcerting, but let’s focus on the solution.
Rock Paper Shotgun has broken things down into four main bullet points that will guide you through regaining control of your personal data.

First, you’ll want to open Settings and click on Privacy. There, you’ll find 13 different screens — yes, 13 — to go through, and you’ll want to disable anything that seems worrying. The blog notes that most of the important settings can be found on theGeneral tab, though other tabs are important as well. For example, you’ll definitely want to adjust what types of data each app on your system can access.
Next, users should consider dumping Cortana. Yes, the voice-driven assistant iseasily one of the best new features in Windows 10, but it also plays fast and loose with your data. As a result, many users will find that the benefits do not outweigh the risks.
For the third task, you’ll have to venture outside the confines of your PC and hit the web. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to check out Microsoft’s nifty new Edge browser. In it, click on this link and set both “Personalised ads in this browser” and “Personalised ads wherever I use my Microsoft account” to off. This will disable Microsoft’s Google-style ad tracking features.
The last tip is one that most users will likely forgo, as it is a bit excessive. Rock Paper Shotgun recommends removing your Microsoft account from Windows 10 completely and using a newly made local account instead. This way, Microsoft doesn’t grab hold of all your data to sync it across machines. To us that’s a great and useful feature, but if you want to kill it just follow the link below in our source section for complete instructions and plenty more details.

dakle,definitivno ne prelazima na pomodnu 10ku..obratiti paznju na EULA-u,gdje se od korisnika zahtijeva,da ako zele koristiti Windows 10 moraju dopustiti,prakticno nadzor racunala i svega na njemu MS-u..postoji opcija blokade nekih aktivnosti,ali tko je glup da to cita(EULA-u) i poslije petlja i zamara se sa zastitom svoje privatnosti..

Ma to se moglo i očekivati  jer :

I dok svi očekuju Windows 9 , Microsoft predstavio Windows 10 .
Nakon ne baš dobro prihvaćenog Windowsa 8  u  Microsoftu kažu da je nova verzija najopsežnija platforma ikad i da nije u redu da ima broj 9 nego se odmah preskače na broj 10. A možda se samo radi o marketinškom triku.
Što novoga donose novi Windowsi , ovdje:


http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/oct/01/windows-10-start-menu-nine-other-things-to-know

Microsoft je predstavljajući novu verziju Windowsa omogućio i Windows 10 Technical Preview s ciljem prikupljanja povratnih informacija od korisnika koje bi pomogle konačnom oblikovanju ovog operativnog sustava.
Ali nešto je  stvarno otišlo po krivu. Naime, pristajući prije preuzimanja izdanja Windows 10 Preview-a na "Terms of Service" i "Privacy Policy" , prodali ste dušu vragu. Tko još čita te dugačke dokumente nego automatski klikne na "yes" ?  
Čitajući Politiku privatnosti jasno je da tehnološki div koristi Keylogger za prikupljanje raznih korisnikovih podataka tipa :ime, e-mail adresu, sklonosti i interese, pregledavanje, pretraživanje i povijest pretraživanja, telefonske pozive i SMS podatke, konfiguracije uređaja te korištenje programa .

Eno na..ekipa entuzijasta sa bag.hajerovog foruma se masovno vraca na W7 i W8/8.1 ...  Prvo navalili na W10,kao gladuši na svecki stol,a nakon "saznanja",koje je ipak netko procitao u EULA_i,malo je raci zabrinuto se vracaju na prethodne verzije..Ima po tim diskovljima svega,a nije za MS oci...

E jbga, ništa ne čitaju...lumeni ...pljuc...

tupa telad..jos kad se neki biser hvali kako ce instalirati na 120 kompova u Firmi(!!!),idiotizmu nikad kraja..

I taj telac,je kao neki sistemac,a boze pomozi..vic je da je kukumacio na bag.hajerovom forumu,kako na nekom stroju nikako da podesi W10 da radi kako treba...sistemca do yaya... ...

o pasimmtr...ebo..

Jesi ti to vidio...?

Bas me iznenadilo...dobro,kad nes radim kriticno butam Linux i oke,no svejedno ovo nije oke..ako cu uvijek morati kontrolirati sec.update jedan po jedan,dokle cu stici..

Telemetrija se odnosi na način na koji koristiš OS, ne na podatke kojima barataš, znači telemetrija prati kakve zahtjeva postavljaš operativnom sistemu.

Daj ne budi naivan...Telemetrije je dok se narod malo opusti,a onda ce im gurnuti do yaya,kako to obicno biva..

Pa zato treba pratit jebiga, mislim uvijek postoje dvije krajnosti:
1. tuke bez mozga sa "next, next, next, next, ok" mentalitetom i;
2. Ultra-paranoike

Mada s obzirom na EULA_u u W10 i nije nekasto paranoidno...ostalo stoji

Pasmtr ..ebo..k vragu i taj GWX.exe,hoce uporno da me nagovori da instaliram W10...jest napasan..

Kaj sad? Ostaviti ili maknuti?

Makni telemetriju, imali su dovoljno vremena tijekom bete da prikupe podatke...

no vrpanje po HDD-u je nepristojno...

nes je Triny pisala,ali evo jos jednom..
