Stupid move
Full disclosure: I've moved to Win 10 and am happy (though I have disabled all telemetry as standard, hosts, registry and services switched off...)
Saw this, on Ars, reportedly from MS "... In the recent Windows update, this option was checked as default; this was a mistake and we are removing the check."
Seems it will be stopped. Though I think few will be happy unless we hear details and maybe a head or two rolls.
This is so dumb. Those who want to be in control of their computing are a golden asset for any OS. These people probably have more impact on the future of computing that those who don't think. What genius even thinks it worth pissing such people off? Maybe MS has been secretly colonised by "consumer brained" people. STOOPID.
