I took great care to stop a lot of the Phonre Home features - but who knows what else it does.
But how do we know that even WIn XP. 7 ir 7 dont phone home or have these "features" added by "security updates" ?
Maybe Linux desktops will eventually take off in the next year or so

So far it's not been back in a good few weeks - though I will probably tempt fate by saying that.
We did actually try using it (Sorry If I'm repeating this), but were very frustrated over the new display customisation settings. My OH and I use the same settings on our user accounts - but for some unfathomable reason on Windows 10 it would not keep those settings between users. If you set everything up on one user account then went over to the "other side" and tried to set the same settings there - the first user account you changed would be completely mucked up.
That's why we reverted back to 7. Completely stable when changing screen resolution settings on either side.

Each time people work out which updates to kill to stop the 10 roll out Microsoft come up with another one or two to push it onto you, and with their patch descriptions being so generic (and misleading) its just about impossible to work out where they're hiding it.

You poor things.... such a shame you have been conned with the microsoft tv advertising....
I saw something about hding KB3035583 which put the upgrade icon and the nag screen on the update screen.
since then I haven`t had anything else about windows 10,...
and I`m so pleased to be running Windows 7 Professional...with all the features that came with it, but have been sidelined/dropped/removed from Win 10.

Most of my other systems are now W10. I'd say i'm getting used to it now though I do miss some features of W7, not least it's more logical structure and clearer interface/graphics.
No tears shed for W8/8.1 though.
My main concern is the upcoming change of W10 to a Recommended update, so it will just arrive unless you make a serious effort to stop it!

I've heard some people roll back to W7 but not W8.1.
If you read through this thread some people have gone back to W7 but not the latter AFAIK.

M$ has a point when it says every home user needs to upgrade to w10 what they fail to annunciate is their intent to yank support for all prior versions of windows for non vlk customers in order to streamline the business further

It can take a bit of a sense of adventure to move to something new from Microsoft.

In my opinion "not liking change" doesn't come into it when considering 10.
