France warns Microsoft to Stop Collecting Windows 10 Users' Personal Data

What's more interesting is that Microsoft does not deny the allegations set against it and does nothing to defend Windows 10 excessive data collection, as well as fails to address the privacy concerns the CNIL raises.

Greets! :wink:
