I will becuase I like the new design and the new browser :3
Absolutely not. Read the user agreement.
Examples:
every thing you download, movies or pictures, etc- goes to Microsoft
everything you visit, including tor, goes to Microsoft.
keystrokes go to Microsoft (OS is a keylogger)
every fucking thing goes to Microsoft. Free? More like voluntary monitoring by the NSA.
Do some research. I'm not "upgrading".
I believe this was only in the preview, and was never confirmed as far as I know.
You also act as if not upgrading makes your immune from the NSA, it doesn't at all. They still read meta data collected from fiber lines, also their are rumors all Windows operating systems have back-doors in. It's an old rumor that is getting old quite frankly.
I don't see how any of this is relevant anyway, unless you enjoy visiting ISIS recruitment hubs or learning how to make bombs. Just saying.
I think what you are refering to is the Equation Group malware which is strongly linked to the NSA.

The malware that when enters onto your HDD silently, rewrites the harddrives firmware to implant itself yet retains an original copy for security checks to say "yep this is me, the original".
The math alone to do this is absolutely "wow". A malicious hardware OS that is undetectable.
Kaspersky found it because a large portionof their clients were sending traffic to a certaindomain. They did their research and found it has no connetion to microsoft or windows or any commercial software.
They looked up the domain and saw it was open to be bought (typical mistake to re-register a domain since it's something that gets lots in bureaucracy)
So they bought it, had access to all of the traffic, and they could rip all the information they wanted. It was a C&C server. Think of the worlds largest most undetectable botnet that can be used for far far more than just primitive DDoS attacks.
There is a bunch to it but I think you get the point.

Now, sincerely, Do you really think that "disabling" these privacy settings in Windows 10 is actually going to make a difference? Let's take a look at the facts..
- They are giving it away for free.
- They are making an astronomical amount of money from the marketing gross income. (Anything and literally everything you do is logged, sent to them. Default software from the OS has ADs in it.. Yes... Solitaire for example, which you can pay more money per monthto disable)
- The keylogger is going to be there, and if you disable it you will still be sending a lot of data that is private
- ALL WiFi passwords will be shared with ALL of your facebook friends automatically. (A massive security concern, I can hear the community free wifi app's blowing up already)
- and much more...
In the industry you would be pretty surprised the vulnerabilities and attack vectors that are open for major corporations if you know where to look.
Have you seen the movie kingsmen? If not I recommend you do.
Now I'm not a conspiracy person at all, but 80% or so of the entire world uses windows. (Talking companies here) and about 70% or so for personal computers.
They said this is going to be the last windows OS, this one will only be getting updated.
They are cutting off support, patches, etc, for past versions.
They are trying to make people switch. It is going to make them very rich with this strategy and it is going to take away a lot of what we know of privacy.
I canguarantee you your private information, tasks, habits, and deep/dark web onion sites you visit using TOR / what you do -period-are not being kept between you and yourself, or you and microsoft.
-and don't even get me started on the rogue cellphone towers....
