A key reason the new Microsoft Windows 10 privacy policies are so problematic for existing Windows 7 users
https://plus.google.com/+LaurenWeinstein/posts/EUU9G8ss1nQ The key factor is the change from expected state prior to the upgrade. When people bump up to W10, the default info sharing is utterly different -- vastly expanded -- from what they consider normal under W7. And even more to the point, now involves all manner of data that has traditionally been local under Windows. When you use a cloud-based service, you normally have made a conscious decision to do so, and then a variety of boilerplate comes into play to permit processing. But the 180 done by MS is dramatic. A law firm that may in the past have chosen to keep their data all local -- for whatever reason -- now would be in a very different ecosystem simply by accepting the W10 upgrade with its defaults. Very bad. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
