Windows 10 is Big Brother on Steroids

Here is a small cut n paste from Microsoft on their "Privacy Statement" with the new Windows 10 operating system and Cortana.
Here's their privacy statement.
"To enable Cortana to provide personalized experiences and relevant suggestions, Microsoft collects and uses various types of data, such as your device location, data from your calendar, the apps you use, data from your emails and text messages, who you call, your contacts and how often you interact with them on your device. Cortana also learns about you by collecting data about how you use your device and other Microsoft services, such as your music, alarm settings, whether the lock screen is on, what you view and purchase, your browse and Bing search history, and more."

If this is not "Pause for cause" I don't know what is.
I expect to see the usual suspects declaring that they don't do anything they care for anyone knowing and blah, blah,blah.
Just take a moment and decide for yourself what's best for you.

They can monitor the location of my desktop if they want. All the rest of that info is being collected anyway. By lots of people. If they want to know that I just ordered a replacement bag for my landing net, well whoop-de-doo.
I'm giving the geeks six months to find all the bugs in Win10 before I try it. And then I'm going to load it to an old netbook I never use anymore. If that doesn't crash and burn, I might risk putting 10 on my desktop. Maybe. And I damn sure won't use the MS browser or Bing.
The postus is trying every trick in the books before it's * is kicked out [^]
I'm thinking about upgrading to Windows 7.
Is it much better and DOS 3.0?

Now the sneaky little part there is that if you chose to opt out of Windows 10 before the 30 days are up, they have accessed your traffic and data for that period.
It's like you closed the barn door after the horse ran away.
I am going to download and try Ubuntu. To heck with Microscrap.
I wish I could but you know what they say about "old dogs and new tricks"

I am an old dog also. But I read a bunch about Ubuntu the other day and decided I need to try it.
Problem is finding all the drivers for it. Will try it on my old Dell CPi A Laptop first.
I have seen it running on the Dell E6400 which I have.
If I don't like it, I will just reload the Vista Business I have on the E6400.
Will Win.10 be a MANDATED update or,will we still be allowed to use 8.1?(as if that isn't already BUGGED too)
For about the 6th. time i'll ask.

No, you do not have to update. I am sticking with Windows 7 on my main desktop, and 8.1 on my laptop.
