Now I haven't tried Win10 and I'm not enthused about the lack of privacy but some of the complaints could use a little honesty improvement themselves. And better writing on MS's part could have headed these complaints off in the first place, so paraphrasing heavily:1. At the middle of the right edge on the collage: "we will collect private info" followed several lines later by "as required by legal process" would be better expressed as "If required by legal order or law we will commence collecting private info to the extent required by that order or law". Regrettably hard to fault them for that. 2. Regarding Cortana, they could say "As the concept of Cortana is that it will anticipate your thoughts much as a private secretary does, we would have to record much of your private info in order to be able to provide that intuition. This of course would only start if you choose to use the Cortana feature. If you want this intuition to be present across all of your devices then that private info is also going to have to be relayed to them through our cloud servers, including storage of it for later transmission when your next device is online". The point critics should consider here is that basically if you wish to have a private secretary you are going have to decide if you want to trust him and his PC or not. MS maybe needs to point this out instead of presuming everybody knows the reasoning evolution they used when they worked out the design concept. When they coat everything in sugary prose they may think they are avoiding showing anything negative to the customer but unfortunately the coating can also obscure positives that would show them more fairly. Recording your messages might be nothing more than scanning your existing Outlook file to remind you that you have written Mr. Jones about his sales performance twice before. For myself I don't need a private secretary to do this. Bill |
