There's been concern expressed that Windows 10 sends an awful lot
of info back to Microsoft about what the user is doing, perhaps
to allow adverts to be targeted more precisely (apparently even
Solitaire comes with adverts in Windows 10). Some of this
info-sending can be switched off, apparently, but some can't.

Seeing as how I only use MS very occasionally, that won't worry me
much.

I wonder how accurate their targeting will be? If it's like
Amazon, the answer will be "not very". According to the targeted
mail I get from them, they must think I'm a 12-year-old girl who,
amongst other things, owns, drives and maintains a Peugot 205; is
a body-builder, and is interested in male facial grooming products.

Well knowing what you look like Graham, I would say that some of the
latter would not go amiss! :-)

I'm now worried if I update to Windows 10 I may turn into a cross
dresser, I have a Peugeot 307 ;-)


Ha! Should I be worried that I might turn into a Peugeot-owner? ;-)

The only thing on the list that makes any sense is the last, as I once
bought a beard-trimmer via Amazon. As to the rest, I've no idea. For
instance, I haven't owned or driven any car for twenty years and have
never owned any marque of Peugeot. Amazon still keep e-mailing me
every couple of weeks to advertise that they have Peugeot 205 workshop
manuals available, though.
