Windows 10 is bitchin.

I don't really care about the gaps in privacy.
If MS sells my search history, won't that just make porn even better?

Anything I really need to be secret, I'll just use TOR.

Here's a list of holes in privacy in Windows 10.

I disabled some of the ones I had a problem with.

And here's a Chrome App to force redirect Bing searches to Google, Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo.
(Chrome must be default browser)

The UI is vastly improved, even though I never had much of a problem with the W8 UI (in fact now my touch screen barely does anything), and Cortana is even more charming than she was when I first booted her up on my phone.

If you're not using Windows 7 there is something wrong with you.

I never used Windows 7.
I've always thought it was stupid.
We have it at work, and it's a pain in the ass and an ode to primitve non-streamlined UI.

I used XP until they discontinued it, then switched to 8.

Wait people are already getting it? Been trying to upgrade my Win 7 computers to Win 8 recently, both by registering for the upgrade and now just waiting.

Yeah I'm waiting on my upgrade. Got to fool around with it when it was in beta on a virtual machine. Love it.
