I don't understand. I use Microsoft and Google, I assume about 99% of people on this forum use at least one of those. Why is their known data collection better than this?

Maybe because Microsoft stated up front that they were collecting data, and actually I think they ask permission, in fact I know they do because I get periodic pop ups requesting permission for this or that data to go to Microsoft but I'm using Windows 7 and will continue to do so.

If they had eliminated the phone home they'd have become heroes to all. Now they're just playing us for fools with this phone home. I researched Bondware - they supply communications (newspapers etc) software and brag about being able to supply lock outs for non paying subscribers. Well and good, but don't then pretend they don't have the ability to eliminate the phone home if they want to. It's the deceptions that rub.

You have no idea what they're doing with your data so how can you be so naive as to say we should complain if they do something bad, I can't believe that one.

I'm incredibly happy you have nothing to hide but the issue is our right to privacy.

ROFL, you might just want to read up on Windows 10 data collection, but I'll give you a clue.....they don't ask permission and you cannot refuse to participate in the data collection unless you own a Windows10 Enterprise license.

And, if opening Poser so depresses you, might I suggest you delete it from your computer and move on? And, while you're at it, you should disconnect the internet, your web browser and email programs. They're all collecting data from you.

And, there was absolutely no deception on the part of Bondware/Renderosity. They told us from the getgo that phone home was staying.

If there was any deception it was on the part of SM when they implemented the phone home app in Poser 2014 Game Dev without telling anyone.

You have choices, and you can protect your privacy if you're so concerned. It's simple. Start deleting.

I don't use Windows 10 if you read at all you'd have read that.

Don't you have a toddler handy you can stick pins into? That's what you're about.

I'm through with this you're just looking to start trouble.

I'm not looking to start trouble. I'm just setting the record straight.

You're the one who insisted Microsoft asks permission to send data home, not me. I just corrected you.

I'm sure that makes you uncomfortable, but the truth is the truth. And, beating this dead horse over and over and over and over does what? Makes you feel better?

It's ridiculous and detrimental to Bondware/Renderosity's business. Since I have a vested interest in that business with the products I sell through them, I have the right to set the record straight when you post repeated mis/half truths.
