- Well, looks like I'm going to stick to Windows 7. As for the laptop running 10, that's moving back to Linux.
You know, I'm not sure that a new privacy policy will only be valid for Win10.
Here's the relevant part:
- Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to:
comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies;
protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of the services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone;operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or
protect the rights or property of Microsoft, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services - however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer's private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.

Note how it says nothing about Windows 10 in there? I think this is for everything MS.
I've kind of been waiting for a good enough reason to finally make the switch. General usability just isn't that reason anymore for me. This just might. Damn, and I thought Win10 was shaping up so well, too.
