All the ways Windows 10 violates your privacy

- Start date
One such example of things going bad: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/10/microsoft_secure_boot_ms16_100/[DOUBLEPOST=1472133134][/DOUBLEPOST]http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/08/microsoft-secure-boot-firmware-snafu-leaks-golden-key/
Forget privacy, Microsoft does not understand when to start downloading updates - especially large ones like v1607. I am planning to go back to Windows 7. Luckily, I remembered the metered option, else the internet was pretty much useless.[DOUBLEPOST=1472156910][/DOUBLEPOST]
I dont understand whether this is a backdoor or not. Its akin to not allowing us to unlock our bootloader.

Oh yes this is pretty much the definition of a "backdoor" - keeping a secret mechanism to bypass a security feature easily. Only thing it got leaked/publicised else it would have remained a secret backdoor. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backdoor_(computing)
Just installed windows 10 as I could not get RNDIS driver working for my Moto G3 on windows 7 also had a issue where the onboard NIC would not start, Only option remained was to disable and then enable it again from device manager. The install is a fresh one. Its almost 16 hours and windows 10 has been downloading updates non stop on my puny 1 Mbps connection rendering that line useless for doing anything else
