...Yet the idiots will still call it a conspiracy theory.

I'd argue the true idiots are the ones who try and justify this sort of crap with rubbish like they have nothing to hide so there isn't a problem.

@Trilithon - You got an entire OS for free. What is the problem here?

@Speed-Racer - Let's be honest here. He didn't "get" anything, nor did he get it for free. What he did receive is a product that he will never own and which collects his personal data at will in exchange for the use and convenience of new software. If Microsoft chose to recall Windows 10 tomorrow, their base would be left with nothing and they would retain salable goods in the form of your personal habits and information. So let's not conflate the two key points.

@speedracer

Please tell me then what happens if I buy W10 say Sep 2016, will they stop 'collecting' my data because I paid for it??

Dude please stop.

Ok let's put it another way. You are basically using a service in exchange for your personal information. Just like Facebook. There are no free lunches. Everything costs something and it's not always measured in dollars or cents.

They don't give a shit about what you ask to them. When you installed Windows 10 there are whole bunch of terms and conditions that you checked to agree to. They must have mentioned everything in those terms and conditions.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think 1nsomniac's point was that the "idiots" in question here are the ones who try to pretend that MS *wasn't* ever spying on anyone, or that what they were doing somehow wasn't a bad thing, therefore labeling it a "conspiracy theory" in a dismissive manner.

Considering the way Europe's and the USAs governments are going, it wont be log before they use the data to track terrorists..and by terrorists I mean you and I who oppose the corrupt regimes in power.

Sad but actually true, I remember hearing about this girl that was labeled a terrorist because she was expressing her self loL, so much for freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is offensive.
