    Microsoft added some of the spy stuff from windows 10 to earlier versions, too. Since that's brought in via updates it is easy to fix:

    Code
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2976978 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3075249 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3080149 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3021917 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3022345 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3068708 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3044374 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3035583 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2990214 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2990214 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2952664 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3075853 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3065987 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:3050265 /quiet /norestart
    start /w wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2902907 /quiet /norestart

    If you're cautious you would not even use windows lol
    Go linux or BSD which might reduce the chances but it's really hard to run away from it

    Thanks by the way :)

    win7 is the new XP

    nope I'm not upgrading even for free. Has anyone read the Terms and Conditions?

    Every new OS that comes out I get more and more of an itch to go linux I think I will one day. Though I do have to say dual booting Win7prox64/OSx86 Yosemite 10.10.5 is satisfying considering I've never used OSX. I'm beginning to understand why it's liked so much. Though I've locked it down also. I seems that I'm using OSX more than windows of late. I might look at adding Linux later I had a run after Xmass on it and it was ok too.

    You all are just lucky my experiment this past spring failed. If it had succeeded, it would have collapsed the entire universe...

    Window 8...I ran a VM, installed osX. THEN, on the VM of osX, I installed parallels.
    Then, I installed windows 7. It loaded, but BSOD'd on launch. had it worked, I might have created a flux capacitor that would allow me to go back in time or something....who knows.

    Lol so you want to stick to older versions and expose your PC to vulnerabilities to hide the illegal stuff you are hiding on your laptop :D :D

    Once Steam OS is out of beta, I'm going to Valve Steam OS Linux. I had already planned this for the past year but for whatever reason Valve is dragging A$$ on Steam OS.
