Re: Windows 10 – Microsoft’s Big Data-grabbing (or spying?) OS

[Stephen Partington]

you get the choice of sharing with your friends. and it is specifically
your friends only that get that information. My concern is if i bring my
friend over and he is sharing his wifi ap information I do not get the
option of who he shares with, just if it is shared.

MS has said they are working on improving this feature due to concerns, but
for now _optout is the only option.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
