Put down your coffee and admire the sheer amount of data Windows 10 Creators Update will slurp from your PC

disable-ity?

IIRC NT4 Workstation could be flipped into NT 4 Server by flipping a switch on its Registry.

If several builds of Win 10 have limited telemetry, would there not be similar controls/delta points that could be leveraged to turn it off under the covers? After all, it's easier to take away something than add it. Barring that, router-level firewalling?

As ever, I am flabbergasted at the lengths MS will go to to ignore its customers (no, not 'users', we paid $ for these products, they are not Google/FB). And taint the reputation of what is otherwise mostly an acceptable OS (for those of us who exercise our freedom not to automatically hate proprietary software - even if I like Linux too and don't use Win as my primary OS anymore).
