Case Project 13

Starting with Microsoft Windows 10, Microsoft by default gathers information about user preferences. For example, Windows 10 assigns an advertising ID to users, and then uses it to deliver customized ads and information. This has caused alarm among some users regarding intrusion into their privacy. Using the Internet, research the information gathered through Windows 10. What are the advantages of this data collection? What are the disadvantages? Is this any different from how other operation systems and websites gather information? Should Microsoft be more upfront about the collection of this data? Is there a way to turn the data collection off? If so, how is it done? Should it be easier to turn it off for users who do not want their data collected? Write a one-page paper on your research and opinions.
