If they REALLY wanted to be assholes they could even have the computer shut down or cripple the usability (maybe with constant errors) if it can't reach the telemetry servers.  I honestly won't be surprised if they eventually do this. I probably should not be giving them ideas. :P

You never used win98 did you?

That would just cripple and throw errors for no reason, despite internet being there or not.  :-DD  "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down".  Either that, or BSOD.

That's one thing I got to give MS at least their OSes are more stable than before now.   :P

Apparently not from what's written above. An OS that actively denies your preferences in regards to net access cannot be deemed stable.

Thank Linux for that - remember how Linux just started becoming practical for everyday desktop use?

The entire internet has become a privacy mess. The main problem is how companies like Microsoft, Google, etc. act as if having an connection gives them the right to do as they please with it. Probably 99% of the people that use computers have no idea how much is really going on without their knowledge.
