Tried Edge for about 30 seconds. The amount of ads on the average website is shocking. Back to Chrome w/Adblock.
Windows 10 itself seems fine. It windowses.
The internet without ad blocking is is terrible. Might want to look at ublock, imho it's better.
I run Firefox with NoScript, but it's a little bit like the phone setup where you have to punch in all of the numbers that are allowed to call you.
Right now the following want access, although none are actually needed to see this site:
google-analytics.com,
Digg.com,
googlesyndication.com,
facebook.net,
vigilink.com,
Digg?!
After squinting carefully at the page, I found the broken Digg script behind the "Share" drop-down menu at the top of the thread

windows 10 shares a number of things, like your bandwidth (if you have x many gigs a month you may want to note this) and your wifi passwords with friends of your friends http://windows.wonderhowto.com/inspiration/everything-you-need-disable-windows-10-0163552/
Installed 10 on my HTPC and I have to say it's a huge improvement over 8.1. I'm now considering whether to upgrade my primary machine which is currently on Win 7. I think I'll remain on Win 7 for a little while longer but will almost certainly upgrade before the free offer expires.
Although I haven't used it much, I like having Cortana active in my living room. I need to find a good quality microphone that can pickup my voice from anywhere in the room.

wait...what...I thought Cortana didn't work in Canada? I have it greyed out on one of my menus.

Same
Cortana will work if you have your region, input language and speech language all match. I think all three are supposed to be "English (Canada)" but I have it intentionally turned off at the moment.
Cortana will also help you turn itself on - if you click the search button, then the circle symbol on the left-hand side, it should tell you why it isn't working

your a resource of some pretty good stuff, thankyou.
I've got nothing to hide over here, but theres a limit to what I want Microsoft to access.
The preview release I played with was much better than 8 or 8.1. I'm waiting to upgrade my Win7 laptop to 10 for a bit. Never switch right away unless you want problems.
Although I must be the only one that switched to Windows ME before it was even on shelves and never had a single problem with it.

Is this Windows going to be the most Mac-like in history?
That seems like a poor excuse at best.
An Engineer shouldn't miss something as basic as that.
Especially, since the era of bloatware had already started.
Fitbit is already tracking me, to sell the info to the highest bidder, but I'll definitely keep this in mind.

I don't find it Mac-like at all.
There is selling data and then there's giving security access to your systems, should someone use your wifi to access illegal content (and what will be illegal may change with the new TPP talks) you can be on the hook for some exorbitant legal fees to defend yourself even if you are found innocent of any wrong doing. better to keep your stuff locked down.
then there's the whole downloading pirated content
I guess now there's a bigger reason to use guest SSIDs - never mind worrying about trusting the one person you can look in the eye, now you gotta worry about the 10-50+ people their computer/phone will try to propagate the key to
I don't do that, so my passwords will be locked up, or I won't migrate to 10.
