Microsoft isn't saying what they are collecting now or may wish to collect in the future, the data is encrypted, and they don't work with proxy https servers, so you can't decrypt the data to see what they are sending. It's just "trust us, we know what's best for you".
Well, the OP certainly didn't phrase it as a "is this a mistake?". It's pretty clearly phrased as "what OS are these running?", which is just as clearly answered in the title. I suppose the editor could have fixed up the title after he posted the question, but it's more likely he just didn't read much of anything before posting.
I believe this is just Facebook wanting to backdoor the entire education system while simultaneously getting every student to sign into and use Facebook all day during school.
Zuckerberg is looking for an extra Billion in net worth.
Well, it seems a bunch of people are just fine with dropping your product. Just like I plan on not re-upping with JetBrains when my support term expires next year.
what 'rest of the world'? Russia could care less about sanctions, particularly now, for selling Iran weapons. China as well. Europe is interested, but it really seemed like the US was the one pressing for a deal.
It wouldn't surprise me if the situation is like the Iran Nuke deal, where Congress is not required to pass it, but rather, is required to reject it [ie, the default is that it is passed, and only with a super-majority can it be rejected].
They are claiming that with this new model, they won't have the constant pressure to come up with fancy new features each year to make you re-up your support agreement, so they will actually work on fixing bugs and releasing features that have fewer bugs as they are completed.
Somehow, I doubt it, as the subscription model removes any real impetus to advance the application, just to make sure it keeps running with minimal improvements.
So instead you deserve to make money forever on the one product? That's just as fucked up as copyright, where both you AND your children simply must be paid for a work. Otherwise, there's no point in creating it.

It's collecting everything you type/paste. There might be the odd valuable bit of text in there somewhere.
I believe currently, the term is "creepy old guy" unless they have a network of over 8 figures.
Many of them keep sharks as pets for just this reason. And to be ready for then the gov't comes to take their computers away.
Rounding.
1 = 10 m
2 = 100 m
3 = 1b
3.5 = 5 b
I was actually going for 1/2 billion, so 2.5...
Are you trying to insinuate that, if Trump were elected, he would not try to raise taxes for himself?
blasphemy.
this is just riding on Apple's coattails, as every release of MacOSX and iOS for more than 5 years has been snappier than the last one.
Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't notice that the title changed.
I believe he is about 3.5 orders of magnitude of money away from a serious run for President.
You can easily afford a top-flight teacher for these classes, assuming the class size is around 100. And lunch is a bag of chips.
whoosh!
Fucked up buddhists. Everybody knows that money==happiness. What are they teaching their children?

You only live those 40 years if you happen to be rich enough to afford it.

more like "we've already used up our credibility, let's start using up other peoples"
This kind of solution is really the only kind that drug companies are actively researching and bringing to market.
They have no interest in one-pill fixes, because they don't make nearly the profit that 'forever' pills do.
