Another reason for Win10 (NOT!)

another posting about WHY I tell my student's "uhhhh....no!" about moving to Windows 10.

- Win10 "recovery" feature sends YOUR encryption keys to MS....and you can't "opt-out" of this

- Win10 has a remote killswitch option....this means...if you have ANYTHING on your Win10 machine that MS doesn't "like"...then....ooopsy....your machine suddenly "doesn't work" either.

- Win10 sends ALL of your keylogs and browser logs to MS

- Win10 "private" mode.................isn't private
