I just got a message from Microsoft that they're dropping the storage allotment from 15GB to 5GB. Doesn't affect me because I don't really use it, but it could be a problem for some who do. If I depended on OneDrive for backups, 5GB wouldn't cut it.

win 10 (and 8.1 also) has the 'feature' that have to have an account to use it. Well, there are workarounds, but if you log in with your account on more than one computer it will sync your desktops - same apps, icons, wallpaper, layout, etc.

Makes all computers the same for you - a feature I suppose. Annoying when my new dj laptop mirrored my wife's tablet..and when I changed something it changed on her tablet...THAT is annoying. So I found the way to set it up with no 'account', like all computers in the past!
It doesn't work that way for me. All that seems to sync is the desktop background. I generally keep my desktop clean but I've loaded it up with shortcuts to apps a couple times (dunno how anyone can work like that but I digress) and it wasn't mirrored to my other machine. It seems finicky sometimes even the desktop background doesn't sync. It's a half baked 'feature', IMHO.

It's been going on for years and is getting more advanced every day.

*Smart Phones - listen, watch, track
*TV Remotes/Boxes - listen, track viewing habits
*Browers/Apps - listen, watch, track
*Vehicles - listen, track
*Credit Cards/Shopping Savings Cards - track
*Networked Home Security Systems - listen, watch, control
*Online Games, Quizes and Surveys -- learn your personality and tendecies
*Cameras and Microphones Everywhere - yes, pretty much everywhere

All of the cute little screen names and email addys in the world won't hide you. ......but apparently, Apple will. ;)
 
windows 10 has a LOT of spyware in it...
