    Windows 10 shares a lot of personal data with Microsoft, but you can turn most of it off.

              Just tried to read it. There were so many popups, the disappearing data, then more popups, then more disappearing data, etc., i.e., the annoyance to informing ratio was too high. I closed the page, I think before it finished loading.

                Using Chrome Version 39.0.2171.99 dev-m I did not have that experience. If I had seen many and then more popups, I would not have posted the link.
