Giving win 10 updates for free wasn't enough, so they will instead move their spyware to win 7 and 8 ^^

I'd rather copy and paste a few lines of code here and there than let bill gates root through all my nude selfies

it's not Gates you have to worry about routing through your ***** pics, it's the NSA. Anything MS collects gets routed around the world, and the NSA gets a peeky-poo at all that. Don't let the NSA see your ***** pics!!

And we all thought the KGB and East German secret police were bad... (my mind has suddenly drawn a blank on their 3 letter acronym. :( )

Its scared how much they already can know of you and most people do not even realise that. Three examples from last year on my uni: I had to make a linkedin profile and I seriously coudn´t skip it, there was no way to skip it and I had to do it in order to get my credits and it had to include quite a bit. They also whined multiple times about the fact that I had no facebook and therefore missed many important so called notifications. At last they expected that I created a whatsapp and that I checked it around once a hour orso. No seriously ***** no, I coudn't let people wait for a couple hours, they actually prefered that I would reply instantly. There is no way around all this crap now anymore since its all normal and you are a complete weirdo when you don't follow the masses.

Everyone has everything nowadays but they have no ***** clue that they have no privacy left anymore.
