Re: Windows 7 and 8 Now Getting The Spyware Treatment
Hey Nocturnus. I certainly respect that POV and you're not the first person by any means to express it. However, as a technologist, I'm well aware how the Internet works. I am not the target demographic because I understand the concept of data locality. If I want data to be local, and if the laws of my country (an EU member state) think I should have control, then I should have control.
JMO, but we have lost control. We have given people with power the ability to exploit that power to turn our technology against us. I for one am not going to put up with that. The only time I want to share data is when I explicitly give permission. I don't think that's too much to ask; vendors just have to default everything to off, and give people the chance to turn on. But of course that would be too inconvenient, and the masses have spoken and said, much as you have, that convenience wins, and so the fact that a device has an Internet connection is all it takes for your privacy to be violated, without consent, by default.
So, for me, at least, the answer to Win10 is, "No". Just like my answer to Siri, incidentally, is now, "No". Soon I will set up my NAS as a contacts/calendar server for home contacts so I can say "No" to even more of Apple's services.
