W10 does not have ads?

And who believes Avast is the only one?

W10 is all about data mining and selling information.

Actually, the real question is the question I asked initially.

I appreciate your perspective and respect your opinion, but I simply wanted an answer.

has Company as a required field. Generally, a company is a business.

redknight says they got three licenses.

My question was if being a business, as opposed to private individual, is a requirement to obtain a license.

I have three W7 machines.

It would appear not – the website used in testing is not real, so making up something seems to be OK. Note: until this has been tested more fully you should be careful parting with your money.

If you want this for your personal W7 PC then I would not bother. A regular image backup to external disk is cheaper and more comprehensive protection.

cheers, Paul

What?

So the post by redknight is bogus?

You must be a business to get license?

“buy a new Win10 machine”

 

I have “a new Win10 machine”: Intel Z390 motherboard with i9-9900K, running W7.

 

So, if the intent was to sell new hardware; FAIL.

Zander said. “We love Windows and will continue to love Windows.”

 

Riiight… and I own this bridge in Brooklyn that I will sell you, real cheap.

 

If they ‘love Windows’ so much, why do they continue to ruin it?

Just wondering about the snooping comment regarding W7.

W7 snoops more than Chrome or W10?

Umm… OK.

Typical, blame the victim.

What other product do people buy that the seller has designed and produced in such a way that they insist it is necessary to perform regular maintenance, even if it is not? And then, blame the buyer if their shoddy product fails?

Would you buy an automobile if you had to return to the dealership every month so they could tighten the lug nuts to prevent the wheels falling off (because they make it so that you cannot do it yourself), and if so would you tolerate that by doing so, the radio, A/C, seat warmers, etc. malfunctioned?

Microsoft is doing no-one (including Microsoft) any favors with their current business model.

I am truly amazed and confounded that people tolerate this blatant chicanery.

So, disabling remote access to the PC is not enough?

So, when a W10 version hits its EOL, it stops working?

I am currently researching way to prevent W10 from ‘phoning home’. The most obvious way is to not connect it the Internet, but perhaps there are other methods…

Umm… where?
