On those upcoming changes, Myerson wrote:Microsoft says Windows 10 does not infringe on your privacy
"As an example of direct response to feedback we've received, all Windows 10 customers will receive an upcoming update to family features, with default settings designed to be more appropriate for teenagers, compared to younger children. Additionally, we're working on ways to further enhance the notifications that kids and parents get about activity reporting in Windows. We'll also release updates for enterprise customers based on their feedback later this fall. This collaboration with Insiders is invaluable to our team, and we continue to welcome anyone who wants to work with us on the future of Windows 10 here."
Myerson stated that Microsoft has two basic themes it follows with regards to privacy on Windows 10:
- Windows 10 collects information so the product will work better for you.
- You are in control with the ability to determine what information is collected.
