Shouldn't the built-in botnet/spyware push all major companies and goverments away from Windows? I don't know how they would be ok with all they're data sent/shared with them (and probably a dozen of US agencies). It's like buying a rooted by design system
For this reason I'm considering updating my Terms of Service to include a 'Windows 10 clause' clarifying that any OS that can't be trusted in its default state is in direct violation of any NDA provided by me and would nullify any NDA imposed by other parties.
This because, imho, the issue with every proposed 'fix' for Windows 10 is the same: The deal the Windows 10 buyer made with Microsoft is that Microsoft is allowed to monitor you. There is no guarantee that Microsoft won't disable any fix at a future time, like they do now with methods to bypass their software features (like activation).
The Enterprise version (reportedly) can disable the call-home "feature". Even that is in contention thou. Yes. I think this is a massive mistake on Microsoft's part.
Or alteast you think it does. The thing is as I said with a rooted box, after it's rooted you can never be sure there ain't no backdoor left. It doesn't need to regularly communicate with an external server, it can probably dump data at some odd dates so it's much harder to track. The thing is there is no damage control with a botnet client by design like Windows 10
Didn't I qualify my statement and choose words to castigate Microsoft? It's amazing to me that keylogging is now reduced to injecting something into hosts and decoding their protocol. The latter may be tricky but knowing MS security record, inevitable.
Not yet forbidden, but their Prosecutor General's Office has received formal investigation request from legal firm in Moscow (Windows 10 privacy policy is in confict with local russian laws about personal data protection of lawyer's clients).
