What else can I say here after another news like this popped up in various tech news and blogs including Neowin which has been the main reference for blog posts here? Here's what Microsoft told about:
- Data will be collected and sent to Microsoft for improvement purposes of Windows 10 and especially that the Insider Preview has been on-going which obviously makes sense ever since I beta-tested it although the Fast Ring Mode is going to make you freak out over instability of the OS behavior like I already did unexpectedly before going back to Slow Mode.
- Like I already know from few to several times, you have full control on what will be collected and what will not be collected. It's easy to disable those options and especially when you start up Windows 10 for the first time that you should go for option customization.
- The data collection is still there but Microsoft has a strict policy that it will not be used for advertising purposes.
Then, what about Windows Update and Wi-Fi Sense? That Wi-Fi Sense may sound like one of the stupidest features I have ever seen in terms of security. It allows your friends or guests to bypass the Wi-Fi hotspot password through Windows 10 devices or something and the worse thing is that, not all devices are running that OS and I find that Wi-Fi Sense is starting to become pointless for sure.
Lastly, Xbox One users that run this OS one day can finally calm down again over this news update regarding the privacy policy and it may seem that Microsoft will make a sense-ful privacy policy that people can understand. Speaking of Windows gaming nowadays, I don't know if the problem about the controversial anti-piracy policy in which people are not able to play some games affected by it is solved or not but the worse thing is that it is also spread to Windows Vista, 7 and 8.1 and somehow, Microsoft might have dropped support for that part of gaming.
