Beware of Windows 10!

UPDATED Mars 2016

Check out the journals,

Windows 10 update for 7 and 8.1...I am a Windows 7 user. (I also can use Windows 8, but only by disabling half it's features until it resembles Windows 7.) I have seen what Microsoft intends to do with Windows 10 and do not like it. I would just like to have my Windows 7 computer but...
...now Microsoft are now releasing officially approved malware updates: (KB3035583, and its associated updates) to bully you into getting the Windows 10 OS.
First of all, there is something very suspicious about them giving away an entire OS for free. There must be some underlying motive for giving away tonnes of Windows 10s to this many people for free. I suspect it might be a useful tool for information trading...
Anyhow, apparently the update will keep pesting you and then later go on to download a 3GB installer onto your computer without your permission. Anyone who has a monthly usage-quota based internet (or anyone with the ridiculously slow internet in rural Ireland) will see just how and How to Remove Windows 10 Telemetry Updates... PROLOGUE: 
This is a journal that provides a list of the updates for Windows 7 and 8.1 that insert unwanted Windows 10 features onto your computer. 
DISCLAIMER: It is recommended that you are completely sure of what you're doing before attempting this, and acknowledge that you are responsible for any damage, loss of data, bugs or glitches that result from disabling updates or messing with the system files. I am merely providing a guide for anyone interested in removing these updates, and would just like to make it clear that whatever you do on your own operating system is your responsibility.


 INTRODUCTION:  
I have always been a fairly private person. When I was young, there used
especially the first (I coulldnt have said it better) and give credits to

I from the very first occasion, when I saw the “free update to Windows 10” icon on my Windows 7 stationary computer, been very skeptical. When Win 7 arrived after the catastrophe Windows Vista, there was NO free update for Vista users or even no reduced prize So “new cool back doors for NSA” I thought. Being happy with my choice of Win 7 instead of Win 8, when I bough my 4 core stationary at summer 2012, I saw really no reason for reservation of a Win 10 copy. Especially since Win 7 at least has a very awesome interface

Now I have a friend who for some week ago upgraded to Win 10 from, Win 7. In the Terms of Conditions, that one has to accept, it is declared from Microsoft  that you from now do not have anything that you would call "private" That was what I myself would expect So my friend decided to go back to Win 7 after some testings. After having restored Win 7 by the option kindly provided by Microsoft, he still had the feeling that Win 10 was there, so he made another restore from a backup of Win 7 made by himself. And when that restore was finished, his smart phone, lying on the table made a restart SPONTANEOUSLY That had never happened to him before (and probably not after).

I am really glad that I've made the choice of Win 7 instead of Win 8 to my stationary computer And Win 10 I will NEVER test If it not was because of Ultra Fractal and maybe some other fractal software, I would totally abandon Windows for GNU/Linux. I already run the Linux distribution Ubuntu on my minilaptop

To be honest, they say that ALL the settings regarding privacy and integrity are placed in one place where you can put those cool assistances, etc, off. Those settings are said to not been there on Win 8 and Win 7. However, can we really trust at Microsoft that you have privacy when those settings are put to “off”? Not according to The Guardian,

Windows 10 sends identifiable data to Microsoft despite privacy settings

Svenska myndigheter och totalförsvaret är skeptiska till det nya operativet.. Daniel Akenine, säkerhetschef för Microsoft i Sverige som uttalar sig i Svenska Dagbladet för Microsoft, har också skrivit IT-thrillern 11 gram sanning. Mycket läsvärd.

Swedish authorities as well as the total defense hesitate to upgrade to the new Windows.

And Windows 10, being the last OS from MS (according to what they say), is only free for a period. After that you have to pay an annually fee. I dunno how much.

So at least have no hurry to make your “free” upgrade!

.. and what's the ”terms of conditions” for Mac I have no clue about, so maybe an awesome GNU/Linux distribution is the remaining alternative

Update: Also check out my journal Don't through away old laptopsDon't through away your old laptop if the hardware  is OK! Give it a second chance by install a user friendly GNU/Linux distribution instead!
Why?
- If you mostly intend to write, surf on the web, draw and manipulate pictures, etc, it's pity to through away hardware that actually works.
- Linux generally requires less system resources than Windows.
- Linux, and most software written for Linux, are open source, meaning that the code is public and you are allowed to chance it (if you have knowledge in programming). On the other hand the source code for Windows and MacOS, as well as for software written for those, are secret and you are not allowed to recover it. Thinking about what Snowden has revealed about the mass surveillance by NSA and the back doors NSA has forced Microsoft and Apple to have in their operating systems, so … To run a Linux system on your old computer may be a little bit of the ans
