Windows 10 and EQ

[gazu]

I was going to update my laptop from 7 to 10 - has anyone updated yet? If so are there any issues? Just a curious thing before I actually pull the trigger on my update.

[wewhitt]

Yea I would like to know this too - Has anyone actually updated to Windows 10, and has it worked with the new update for Project 1999?

Windows 10 is the largest piece of invasive crap ever.

Why you would ever agree to that, regardless of what you may or may not do on your computer, is beyond me.

Your school, bank, cell phone network, cable company, internet supplier, facebook/social sites etc etc all shares pretty much the same info.

I still haven't had my upgrade option yet.

I dig it. Windowed mode is more slim I can see a little more. The new sounds and notifications are pretty good too.

P99 ran fine on Windows 10 for me. Just copied it directly from my Win7 desktop to the Win10 laptop.

Had to turn off real time shadows because its a laptop GPU, otherwise ran fine.

Youre not reading the main point.
For any reason, if police or any "enforcement" ask microsoft for your computer files, they get it. No courts, no nothing. Hell, you probably wont even know they got access.
Police are dangerous enough already, Using windows 10 just sacrifices more of your rights.

They do this already. This is not new. Look at everything that has been going on with Stingray, Prism, NSA, Facebook and Twitter profiling, SOPA/CISPA/TPP/Whatever, the Patriot/Freedom Act, and FBI warning letters. Big companies just can't wait to hand your data over to LEOs. There are also tons of encryption and privacy backdoors just for the NSA and other organizations. Must be some big money incentives behind it, in addition to it being easier and less risky to screw a random faceless customer over than to mess with a big LEO.

Hell, look at what David Cameron in the UK is pushing for encryption backdoors ("Do you want to live in a world where a person's conversation is completely private?"), and the recent FBI director letter about the need for encryption backdoors.

New system seems to be "collect data/evidence, get warrant/authorization later."

Only way to be safe is through obscurity. Use a wired ethernet cord, and when you're not using your comp, unplug all of it.

Windows 10 is a small cog in this machine.

In the meantime, this is about the best you can hope for on Windows 10 for privacy at the moment:
