Updates Make Windows 7 and 8 Spy on You Like Windows 10

Not sure why this is being down-voted. Just trying to be helpful in case people want to avoid these optional updates or uninstall them. Maybe I should just delete the comment?

Maybe a chance for the Linux gaming scene? Finally a window (see what I just did?) for an other gaming OS? Hail Unix.

Been waiting for an article like this but even though it points to two items, KB3075249 and KB3080149, it doesn't seem like "firm" information as there is a huge list of "maybe" items as well as a warning that removing things can mess up your computer.

How likely is it that we'll ever have a "firm" finite list?

2016 is the year of desktop linux. For the kind of people who care about this sort of thing. Also puts "Scroogle" into perspective.

1) Internet web sites have always been "lit up with speculation".

2) Microsoft's "spying" has been going on since Windows Vista was released, and speculation has gone along with it.

3) Since the 1990's, next year has always been "the year of desktop Linux."
