It came with the OS which makes it somewhat bloatware-like. I personally never use OneNote, Skype, office hub, and don't own a Windows phone.

It also comes with a "buy office" program haha. I uninstall all of those right away.

 

I use OneNote heavily, both on my PCs and my phones. Skype is pretty much my go-to communication app, allowing me to keep in touch with friends and family anywhere in the world. Office hub allows me to interact with my work files and documents without having to be at the office. I own two Windows Phone devices.

 

By labeling them as "bloatware" because they're preinstalled is like saying they're not part of the Windows ecosystem, which they most definitely are.

"software whose usefulness is reduced because of the excessive disk space and memory it requires." Not useful for most. 

I understand you're unhappy that I've stated those programs are bloatware which for most users they are. That is why I gave you the option to remove or not to remove.

Remove what you like. No need to be harsh...

Seems like you've ignored my whole post. Honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not. Don't want to have to report your posts.

 

Report me? For what? Disagreeing with you?

 

Correct me if I am wrong but are you not the person whose using LTTs forum to accuse MS of spying on people, illegally stealing data, illegally selling said data and a whole host of other things besides?

Seriously don't even bother trying, its almost as though this guys doesn't realise that sometimes people might disagree with him. I can honestly say he genuinely believes he is always right and seems to have no logical or rational thought process.

Because they are spying... jesus bud. It's written in everything. I've told you that many times and I've become sick of it. Do what you want, I'm not forcing you.

I understand people will disagree, that's why I put the "remove bloatware" commands under the "additional" spoiler.

I'm well aware of the paranoia some users around here like to spew. Most that can be done is present counter-arguments to their posts in the hope that people don't become sheep that believe everything they read on the internet.

 

@ paranoid people: Just go ahead and disconnect from the internet if you're that worried.

Spying implies surveillance is being carried out covertly, like the people don't know it is happening to them.

 

Microsoft published a document outlining exactly what they are collecting and exactly what it is used for, no matter how you define the term that is not spying. As I already pointed out, you cannot steal something if you've informed the person you intend to take it and they agree.

 

Data Collection =/= Spying

 

And also FTR (taken directly from the privacy statement)

 

Microsoft uses measures designed to prevent the collection of email addresses and passwords, and numeric sequences such as phone numbers and credit card numbers.

 

But hang on a minute, you said no such statement existed? Someone is lying around here and it plainly isn't Microsoft. I'm certain your next response will be "You don't actually believe that do you?"

But do we REALLY know what they're looking at? We can only take their word for it right? They must be 100% truthful... right? Just like when they tried to hide the autologger... then when we found it tried to brush it off right? But that's OK! They said what it does. We should be fine with it. Who cares. They log us!

 

Either way. I just don't like it EVEN if they're magically filtering out things. Do you like it?

And finally a rational thought from you. Its totally fine if you don't like them collecting your data and its entirely up to you if you want to try and stop them. The law system in the western world says innocent until proven guilty so until theres proof of foul play we have to assume MS are playing it by the book.

 

To answer your question, I really don't care what they collect from me, I've got nothing to hide anyway so why should I care if they want to inspect my misspelled words and see how long it takes my PC to open a word document.

 

I am curious about one thing though, even if you do stop MS from collecting your data do you not think that something else on your PC is just going to do the same thing anyway? I mean when everyone is doing something its a safe bet to assume that some people are doing it totally hidden away from you (and that would be spying). For me personally I'd rather trust the guys who are honest about what they're doing than the ones who do it behind my back, not that there's anything I could do about it happening behind my back anyway.

I trust google more than Microsoft. Microsoft has lied a lot in the past, and continues to try and hide things.

I don't know what other programs would be collecting and logging my system keypresses or files without my permission, or without being caught as malware. Normally I read what I'm installing for compatibility/extra information. I would be surprised if sublime text was viewing my systems shit haha. Autologger and Cortana is spooky. Huge vulnerability if you ask me.
