My experience with Windows 10 is that it works first =for= Microsoft interests and not =my= interests, constantly trying to manipulate me, pushing its wares, spying on me, diverting my attention to =their= solutions. All this is making me feel in an hostile environment. Therefore, I'll keep Windows 7 on my main home PC as long as possible. After that....

All this conforts the general rules I have for my computers... I have always considered the content of the Windows default folders as potentialy lost, and I keep the following Windows folders empty as much as I can: Document, Music, Videos, Desktop, Download. The content, when it exists, is transient, not important, junk...no need for any backup. All my (real/valuable) documents, links, music, are ...somewhere else (different folders / partitions / HDs depending on my computers), where I have full control and good backups. Also, I do not install any soft in the "Program Files" folder as much as I can. Microsoft cloud, or any cloud solution...No confidence. I keep nothing, except files that I have to transfer to somebody else.

FB is a now a socialy mandatory tool. We are all obliged to use it, but we all profundly despise it. Zuckerberg can say whatever he wants, it will be judged as it is : BS ....or worse.

(why doesn't he ?)......Because he received a gag order from the NSA !

Apple response is not surprising, it's just not targeted to you. This response has been carefully crafted and targeted to the Apple customer who'll believe anything coming from Apple, no question asked. Remember, Apple knows better than you what is good for you, because they know more about you than yourself .....except maybe after the NSA.

Bell Canada : What are you complaining about ?... we're doing much less than the NSA, and we're doing that for your own good !

I guess that Bell Canada (like many others) now feels entitled to spy on everybody.

...A Computer literate person is a criminal, and possibly a terrorist.

...Constantly babbling with NSA servers !

I would not be surprised if for Microsoft, "Modern Desktop" means "with NSA compliant backdoors". I have been obliged to switch from XP to 7 and frankly I gained nothing in terms of functionalities or ease of access.

The more revelations we get about the extent of NSA spying, the less I believe its purpose is fighting terrorism as it has always be claimed, or even ensure the security of American citizen. This cannot be justified in a democracy, even in a state of war.
