Of course it's disappointing, but it can't be unexpected. Greed.

It's safe to say we are under attack from everyone from big business to big government. And, as the Wikileaks' dumps continue to show, we've likely only scratched the surface. We've also got to include things like router firmware and smart devices in the list of "bad things potentially tracking you". It's alarming, yes.

As for Windows 10, of course there are many ways to set it up to almost eliminate the tracking/spying, it takes some minor effort, it probably works, BUT ... imo ... you gotta/oughta keep checking on your privacy settings periodically to ensure that none has flipped back to ON!

My first slam in the face moment was when three men in black appeared on the porch of my last inconvenience a month or so into when I was offering my menu system and the Red Chineese had downloaded it by the thousands. The smaller introduction to it a few years earlier was when Microsoft itself popped a requestor the first time that I got onto "the web" by cable offering a "male enhancement product". It was a huge "phishing expedition" to determine just how many useful idiots would click it. It was benign it did nothing and closed...after it phoned home to Microsith.
