WindowsXPforever · Nov 22, 2018

While browsing MSFN i found this: https://msfn.org/board/topic/177935-kb4462926-from-oct-2018-contains-telemetry-components/
While it doesnt mention 7, i think 7 has these files too.So its official-Windows 7,8.1 is Windows 10 Spy edition!
Wow what Windows has becomed.Back in the XP when Microsoft actually carried about their users privacy...
But now.Its really unsafe to use Windows 7,8.1.....

From yesterday, I have been trying to open the above link to the msfn page. Browser tab opens with the following message and does not open the web page.

An error occurred (500 Error)

It is horrible. I will never use Windows again, except of course XP

I use Windows 8 quite happily on my Quad-Core workstation. No telemetry was backported to Windows 8, and even though support was cut off on January 2106, I can use Server 2012 updates to patch the OS.

Microsoft isnt going to spy on Server 2012

Windows XP will still be somewhat alive in 2106, there'll be at least a few stragglers left... ^^ (haha just poking fun at your typo)

But yeah, XP/Vista/8 is the way to go for anyone using Windows. 7, 8.1 and 10 are all garbage now - one of them always having been garbage.

this is a real shame... I thought 8.1 was safe ugh. F****** Microsoft. I wonder what would happen if Bill randomly got back and became the CEO.
