  4. No option to turn tracking off by alexo · · Score: 2 · on Microsoft To Enhance User Privacy Controls In Upcoming Windows 10 Update (hothardware.com)

    According to the Ghacks article, for "diagnostics" the choice is between "full data" and "less data" with no explanation of what it means.

    Microsoft furthermore announced that it will reduce the data collection of the basic level. Myerson did not reveal what Microsoft intents to change though in this regard.

    Also, the "web-like" interface is for controlling the Microsoft account settings which are, unsurprisingly, on the web.

    All in all, a much more informative reporting.
