Message: <blockquote data-quote="Had.enough" data-source="post: 3404750" data-attributes="member: 87651">Here is the corresponding clause in Windows 7.."Microsoft may use the computer information, accelerator information, search suggestions, error reports, and malware reports to improve our software and services".(I've a feeling the extent of the "search suggestions" would be internet explorer, which was bundled in with W7 at the time.)There is something new here in Windows 10 isn't there. Quite a bit in fact. But it's up to you if you want to identify, process, and mitigate this stuff. No one is making you do anything, or preventing you from getting the facts. Personally, I don't think it should be dismissed so flippantly, which is why I have posted here. But by the same argument it's up to people whether they want to read the facts or dismiss it after reading someone's opinion on the internet. So it really isn't any of my concern. Plus I have reached my self-imposed "3 post limit" for any subject on here that I feel could drag on for days, so will happily drop out now.I'm still interested to know why windows10 is free though, and why Microsoft are so keen for everyone to upgrade, even from Windows 7 which is supported until 2020. Last I knew Microsoft made their billions from selling the windows operating system?</blockquote>
