It turns out the new operating system from Microsoft, Windows 10, by default, spies on users and configured accordingly. And installed a new OS more than 14 million people worldwide. In particular, Windows 10 can read emails, contacts and even notes in the calendar. Also based on the data collected OS personalitywe advertising. How to tell the bloggers, the process of changing these settings is quite time consuming.
Journalists are mostly quite warmly about the new operating system from liftovogo giant – Windows 10. They use such epithets as "amazing", "delicious" and "fantastic", according to the English-language website Russia Today. The novelty is described as a system with a more user-friendly interface that works more quickly and smoothly than previous versions of Windows. However, it is noted that the factory settings of Windows 10 imply a high degree of interference in the user's personal data. Moreover, the new built-in browser Edge, who came to replace Internet Explorer, selects the advertisements based on collected user information. What is striking, and popular solitaire now also contains advertising. In addition, it is reported that the personal assistant Cortana "free play of personal data".
"I was very surprised to learn of the extent of the intervention and data collection. And even more I was surprised that these settings Microsoft put the default. I'm sure most users will accept them without asking the details, and will not even imagine how much information they give," said web developer Jonathan Port. According to the port, the operating system always wants to know the user's location, and also about where he had visited. And this information Windows 10 can transmit not only Microsoft, but also "trusted partners" of the Corporation. "And who are these "trusted partners"? Who trusts them? I'm not one of those people who now trust someone," explained Jonathan.
Microsoft collects and stores the history of visited web pages, passwords to sites, the names of the access points to which the user has connected and passwords to them. And by the way, in a 45 page EULA of Windows 10 (you will this volume to read?) there is a clause stating that Microsoft will have access and will store the data that includes the confidential information of the user when deemed necessary. Windows 10 will be released for automatic updates that will clean your computer from pirated games. In addition, in the license there is a very strange item, which gives Microsoft the right to disable on your computer certain unauthorized device.
