Η Microsoft μόλις ανακοίνωσε μια σειρά από αλλαγές που υποτίθεται ότι θα ενισχύσουν την protection της ιδιωτικής ζωής των χρηστών της. Οι αλλαγές αφορούν απλουστευμένες ρυθμίσεις απορρήτου στα Windows 10, καθώς και μείωση της ποσότητας των δεδομένων που συλλέγονται από τους πελάτες της companys.

As for the changes coming to Windows 10, Microsoft has announced a new setting for users installing the new operating system. The new option replaces the previous Express settings presented at duration of installing Windows 10 according to the company.
So those upgrading from Windows 7, Windows 8 or doing a fresh clean install should be able to see what Microsoft describes as “simple but important settings”, or “tailored but important settings,” while those already running Windows 10 will be prompted to update their privacy settings with a notification.
These new settings will come with the upcoming Creators Update.
Telemetry settings in Windows 10 will be simplified from three different levels to two, namely Basic and Full. This means that the Enhanced level will no longer exist, and users who use it will need to change to Basic or Full after installing the Creators Update.
According to Microsoft, what is most important is that the base layer will send far less telemetry data to the company's servers.
"This will include data that is critical to the operation of Windows. We use this data to keep Windows and applications secure, up-to-date, and blah blah blah, says Microsoft in announcement of new features.
