"Then they take measures to correct that, which is where we come in!"

First, they have to know it's a problem (most won't), then there's the fact that a lot of us don't *want* the extra work!

Nobody wants extra work. But then I believe that's where we certainly agree in that MS are the root cause of this whole problem.

Microsofts' Facebook-like "arsing-about" with privacy shouldn't be something that we have to deal with!

There's enough to do with hunting down drivers (which the Win10 updates are terrible at finding btw - another gripe), general software/hardware errors/maintenance etc. Adding the joy of ensuring a customer/friend/family members' privacy isn't being violated too is something that just shouldn't need to be done.

They are causing all of this, why can't they fix it?

Because they probably believe that there is more in it for them by sticking to this, especially now the deed is done. That and the age old problem with Microsoft; they don't like to admit they are wrong.

"Maybe, maybe not. See my note above about your note."

Hah! well if you'll refer to appendix A, you'll find something in sub-section B that will clearly disprove your argument. (Sorry, it's been a very long day.)

Heh! We've all been there! :)
