Windows 10 is turning out to be a giant bate and switch for the average user. Most people will not even suspect that their bandwidth is being leached, their information is being sucked from their entire computer and their whole OS is left wide open to whoever microsoft deems worthy.
The entire thing feels like a gigantic violation by taking advantage of the average person's ability or willingness to deal with all the added complexity.
Yeah, I was sort of excited to upgrade my Win7 VM to Win10 .. but with all the hassles and privacy violations I've been seeing reported, and now this - using my bandwidth without giving me any control over it - is just the last straw.
I'll probably never upgrade Windows again and just let my Win7 VM die an eventual death. This is not an Operating System being released by a company that cares about the user experience - its more like an AOL CD being shipped out to gullible users ..
