Windows 10 to be banned in Switzerland?
(from comp.misc)
Spotted in the Swiss newspaper "20 Minutes" today, a suggestion that Windows 10 may be banned for contravening data protection laws. Article in German: http://www.20min.ch/digital/dossier/microsoft/story/-Windows-10-koennte-in-der-Schweiz-verboten-werden--10890387 And a not so detailed article elsewhere in English: http://cubiclane.com/windows-10-microsofts-latest-operating-system-windows-10-under-scrutiny-in-switzerland-10365/ "If Microsoft does not review its privacy policy, Windows 10 could be the subject of a recommendation prohibiting its purchase," posted on his twitter account the Federal Commissioner. -- www.alt119.net ....

I have banned it from use in my domain and may in a few years stop using MS completely, as I have Apple many years ago. -- A Paradoxial World, for Sure.

It is all here in black on minty color. I am looking forward to get Windows 10 when my new machines come from DELL.

Would you be OK with the police entering your home without a warrant? That's not the first time your logic has been used.

Is there anything for anybody to spy on me. It is all here in black on minty color. Sir, If you have nothing to hide, do you sent all your snail mail letters as postcards? Or do you use envelopes? The post office doesn't have a right to read my mail, simply because they provide the service -- nor does Microsoft have a right to spy on my computer, simply because they provide the operating system. (Astute observers will recognize here Paul Zimmerman's argument for strong encryption -- but privacy goes even beyond good encryption, it can also apply to data collection and retention policies.) -- -v
