This is so important I felt it best to quote a bit from this excellent effort:

As such, I decided to do my own investigating on what, exactly, Windows 10 is doing traffic-wise, and post the results. For this analysis, I wanted to simply analyse the network traffic of Windows 10 on a clean install, and just let it sit and run without using it.

Unlikely. Just like I don't see any of these arguments tipping any Apple users towards Sailfish.

I actually learned last week (that at least MS claims) that Cortana is not enabled in Finland, because the voice recognition does not understand finnish language. And that it will "most probably became available at some point of time"

Of course it could be that it is listening just to learn finnish...

Black Oak Arkansas baby! Yeah!

It's EASILY noticeable that Jim Dandy is the prototype for David Lee Roth.

Those of you running Windows 7 might be interested to know that Microsoft are now forcing automatic Windows 10 upgrades without permission.
