@ JustaKOS

Of course the default for CEIP is opt-in ..... it is MS.:)

Win10 is a beta testing ground for MS to discover what they can get away with.

All they learn will be rolled out to Win7 & 8.

This is the new MS.

They are trying so hard to emulate the total control Apple have and by necessity the transition is brutal.

You all need to decide very soon which world you want to live in.

MS, Apple, Google or something else such as Linux.

Make your investigation, and an informed decision is possible.

Delay and prevaricate too long, you will be assimilated by one of them unless you fall back to the abacus and/or scratching in the sand with a stick.

Personal computing is all but gone and privacy is a inconvenient obstruction to profit.

Don't worry though you will get the digital equivalent of a bag of beads and some old blankets for your privacy, so well worth it :)
