Got Windows 10?

If you do you most likely have heard the news surrounding just how insecure from a privacy standpoint this OS really is.

Just a couple points of reference?

• Windows 10: How to Protect Your
  Privacy
• What Windows 10's "Privacy Nightmare" Settings Actually
  Do
• Is Windows 10 telemetry a threat to your personal
  privacy

If you need more proof Searx it

Well if you want to do something about it I found a really handy tool I will be keeping in my portableapp toolkit. You can read about it and pick it up here.

Some of its little features would be things like being able to uninstall default applications you may not want like that pesky reminder to install Office or purchase it.... yea that kind of crap. Of course it also allows you to slect other aspects of the OS that you would rather not have open and sending your data back to Microsoft. And yes in Microsofts defense they are supposedly not tracking or recording anything that points to any of us as individuals, but really in this digital age can you really know for sure it's something you'd rather keep to yourself? You can't really so err on the side of your own privacy and do something about it. It will take you like 5 minutes and a reboot.

My 2¢ anyways....
