[Margaret Pilkington]

I always wondered why a giant company like Microsoft would give away something which had cost them money to develop, would then give it away FREE.
They are not philanthropists and I figured there had to be something in it for them.
It was the bait on the hook.
Not all gifts are good gifts....remember the Trojan horse.

This was one of the reasons I was reluctant to take up the offer.
When I saw the product, I did not like it one bit...so my decision was easy.

Microsoft promise that they will protect your privacy, but they will not say what information they gather about the user.
They also want to control when and what updates you get. Now you can call me a cynical old baggage, but how much more will they want to control in the future?

They make a product and make users feel like they are getting a very nice gift and they install it on their systems of their own volition...the Microsoft take control little by little. Sinister or what ?

I bought a new desk top last year...one of the main criteria in my choice was that it did not run on Windows 10.
