As Facebook, I-Tunes and Google do?
Yup, which is why I don't use any of them.
We're becoming used to that loss of privacy.
I'm disappointed to see MS join the parade.

For those of you who seem to hate Windows and Microsoft, why do you not change to Apple or one of the several other operating systems?
I don't hate MS - I'm just disappointed to see this coming from them. My wife insists on using MS for business reasons, but my next computer will be Linux.

Now that Microsoft has opened a port to your data, what is to stop all the MalWare from using it?

A good malware defense program?

Is it true that Brian Williams reported on surprise #0, where the NSA has provided code for Windows 10, that will let them look at anything you do or have in storage?

Oh, no! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Where do these idiots come from? Must be the same one who Poo - pooed. Win 10 when it first came out. I have loaded 10 on several computers since it first came out and it appears to be the best OS that Microsoft has come out with to date. So far, I have loaded the new update on two machines (one being an Acer laptop) and no problems. It is a bit leaner and meaner.
I second that estimate of Win 10. I've been an IT guy since DOS 1.1 and I've personally used just about every Windows OS (except ME). WIN 10 stands above all that came before. I just completed the 1511 upgrade with NO problems in about 30 minutes. Once you get used to it, you'll appreciate how much better it is.

Have they fixed the POP-UP issues in the browser? (this problem appears in any browser used)

That would be a great feature. The current pop up blocker in Win 10 seems to have little or no effect on pop ups,

I've had no problems - but I use AdBlock Plus. It cuts down on the trash on screen considerably.
