No doubt it's true, but really nothing to crow about...I mean, it's basically free for anyone that's bought a computer in the last 6-7 years (Win7).

Kind of my sentiment about windoZe 10, wonder how many people are running it by choice or was it forced on them.

What i'm still amazed by is the amount of complaints, or really the lack of them. about the stuff in Win10. Such as EVERYTHING you do is tracked and monitored. There is a key logger build in tracking you keystrokes, if any of us thought about and released software that did what Win10, we'd definitely would be investigated for illegal activity and more than likely found guilty and serve time for such offenses.
