#13Not having read the EULA / Terms of Service (I don't run Windows 10), Would running a script to turn off / block the tracking and data collection violate the agreements?

Not parent, but W10 convinced to me commit to using only Linux at home. Used to be Linux-exclusive for years in college, so I figure why not. My work and portables are all OS X, which is still far more privacy conscious than W10.

#16"44.5 billion minutes spent by users in the Microsoft Edge browser across Windows 10 devices" I wonder how much of that was spent downloading Firefox or Chrome? "30% more Bing search queries per Windows 10 device versus previous versions of the OS" I can't imagine that this is due to anything other than the OS and browser defaults?
"30% more Bing search queries per Windows 10 device versus previous versions of the OS"
wasn't IE/Bing the default in previous versions of the OS too?

Would, "Microsoft Reveals Details Collected Through Windows 10 Tracking" be more appropriate?

Windows 10 has it integrated into the start menu.
