Windows 10 is known to have privacy issues. It does not matter if Microsoft recognizes them or not, but due to the fact there are many who refused to upgrade to the new operating system simply because the company collects too much information from its users' computers.
Microsoft claims, of course, that it offers users full control over the information they collect, but there are several services that still work and send data, despite these settings.
The company for this behavior reports that these services are only used to send data if it crashes an application on its servers and everything is encrypted. So for Microsoft your personal data is not compromised.
Joe Belfiore, VP of Microsoft, said in an interview at ComputerWorld that they do not violate the privacy of their users and that "the company collects information about its operating system in order to further improve it."
"If we know when our system crashed, or when it has serious performance issues, it will be so useful in development, and [therefore] not a matter of privacy. "Today, we are collecting data to make it a better experience for everyone," said Belfiore.
If you noted in the above statement, Belfiore states:
"In case we know when our system crashed" or in order not to get lost in the translation we quote the whole statement in English:
"In the case of knowing that our system that we've created (meaning of course the systems of each of us) is crashing, or is having serious performance problems, we view that as so helpful to the ecosystem, and [therefore] not an issue of commitment privacy, that today, we collect that data so that we make that experience better for everyone”
So for those who have the illusion that their Windowss belong, they have to understand that the new operating system they bought belongs to Microsoft that has the right to use it for the development of its next systems.
Belfiore basically states that if users refuse to send data, they will have difficulty delivering updates that will make Windows 10 work smoother.
So doing the devil's advocate, why not ask the company with what right turns all those who have installed its new functional in beta testers?
Why track all Windows 10 users when on the other hand there is still the Windows program Insiders;
In the end, for an operating system to be released on the market, it must have passed the beta stage. Nobody pays for beta operating systems, either development.
Obviously, each of us needs to have the necessary options to disable the services that collect personal data, so the privacy problem continues to exist regardless of what Microsoft says.
