As I can foresee that this is not going to be an isolated incident, but an ongoing and ever-escalating issue.
That would indeed be golden information...

I feel concerned about the same thing, we might end up with no new Windows 10 eye candy while still being subjected to the same data mining methods.

You did not "upgrade for free" , that makes you a suspect doesn't it?

The only true advantage of Windows 7 is that it runs my favorite firewall software while Windows 10 does not.

And frankly, with Windows 7 it took already a whole lot of work to finally block off all connections to Akamai, Microsoft, Google and other servers that are not required at all for everything to function just nicely.

It could well be that with Windows 10 MS started to be honest about what was previously considered "not done in the open" especially for paid software...
