Couldn't have sayed it better, thanks.

Besides of that, it is only the german version of the Windows 10
End User Licence Agreement that gives Mikeysoft the righs to do with the
users data what ever they want todo? That in conjunction with the

is time now to change to linux. (think thy are right, but don't use
linux for myselves, prefer BSDs).
