Just a general question. How many are still using Win7? How many are on Win10?
"You guys that are still running Win7 do know that MS have been sneaking the Win10 telemetry stuff into Win7 don't you ?
If you keep your Win7 fully updated MS are spying on you guy too."


I found that it was pushing my cpu usage by 40%, so-

Using Spybot Anti Beacon, turned off all that dreck. www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/

Yeah, I couldn't figure out why I was getting an overheat problem with some games lately. As I said, the telemetry was eating 40% cpu at idle.
