Accompanied by much fanfare, Microsoft’s Windows 10 was released recently, attracting attention for several reasons. In addition to hopefully improving the mess that is the Windows 8 user interface, Windows 10 was breaking the Microsoft mold in two important ways: First, it is free, and second, no disks are required for installation. You can download Windows 10 from the internet and install it directly.
While this makes Windows 10 a tempting upgrade, since its debut, analysts have discovered a number of intentional privacy flaws in the operating system, permissions which give Microsoft access to all of the data on your computer.
And if you are a medical or chiropractic doctor, psychologist, nurse practitioner or acupuncturist in private practice, these permissions are likely in violation of federal laws protecting private medical information.
