I did the 'custom options' install where I declined their offers to track me, but most of the stuff in Privacy was still switched on.<br /><br /> There's also a feature in Windows Update that uses the Win 10 install base as a bit-torrent swarm, and redistributes downloaded updates. I don't have an issue with that idea in principle, but as my upload is limited (if I go over my upload limit my download speed get's capped) it would have been nice for MS to mention it somewhere other than page 9,374,249 of the EULA.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41498.108&return_msg=41498.100" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41498.108"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41498_109"></a><div class="message" id="message_41498_109"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: koswix<span class="message_time"> 1 Aug 2015 13:37</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">109 of 123</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41498.109">41498.109</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I think I quite like 10, it's definitely an improvement on 8/8.1, and I'm pretty sure it's a lot better than 7 too. Not overly-keen with the intrusiveness of it, but with all the tracking stuff turned off I think it should be OK. If MS push things much more in that direction I think I'd be about ready to quit windows all together, tbh. But in terms of interface and speed, it's definitely a winner for me.<br /><br /> My laptop still refuses to reliably hibernate, though (first discovered on the day it came from the courier, manufacturer refused to acknowledge it as a fault) so at least I now know that it's not a Windows issue, but a hardware/driver issue. Power management driver perhaps?
