[QUOTE=philamber;2769022]Another reason to go back to windows 7 or 8.1. ;)[/QUOTE]
This is also a misconception of the facts… The Telemetry shit is backported and so no matter what OS, Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. You will have to actively do something to stop or get rid of it and for the casual user that means? For the rest of us techies, it is just a question of what we must do to stop it or get rid of it 
It may be a fact that this particular bullshit feature is not available on Windows 7 (I do not know), but that is hardly the point.
You are not very much better off using Windows 7 if you use Windows Update… That alone gives MS loads of information… Then there are the other Microsoft ‘services’ (have you checked the communication done by SVCHost? Services? System? Explorer? others?)…
2 cents, I know… They are true cents though, no fakes
