Yup, all the snoopware and telemetry Microsoft baked into Windows 10 was gone from the Chinese version or it wouldn't be allowed to be sold in China: http://www.computerworld.com/articl...cy-you-need-the-china-government-edition.html Irony when you consider a government infamous for snooping on its own people insists Microsoft doesn't do it on them. Privacy is hard to find these days.
they want only them to spy on Chinese citizens , not others let go uber-paranoid: maybe this is just disinformation, and they asked MS to reroute the telemetry to their own servers
Even more ironic is how our own governments spend decades teaching us all about the notority of the Chinese and Russians for thier surveillance of their own citizens and then.....
To get any privacy from Windows at all you need to use a version prior to Vista. I have a blacklist of telemetry URL's a mile long in my router, but there are always more.
You don't need the G version, as I explained over here. In fact it's more insecure because you not get security updates.
Because (according to their logic) it might break stuff or change system files which is unwanted, like certificates, dns related things and more. In the environment this OS is used there will be no internet (I assume) or if then only lan which is controlled by an admin to review each change.
