>>Not sure what you mean here - the text is from the extended privacy statement for Windows 8, which is free neither as in libre nor as in beer.

LOL. Windows 8 is as free for me as Apple iOS and just as difficult to track me by- because I don't use it. ;-)

>>Probably only a few percent of members here know about disposable e-mail addresses, Tor et al. The proportion of the population at large - miniscule, even negligible. If they had the background and inclination, yes, they could be taught. But that's not the hard part, which is the discipline to apply those techniques 24/7/365.25 and never screw up even once.

Fair enough. FWIW one of my disposable e-mail domains came about after a certain jolly fellow was criticizing VFP and calling it various names. According to him, we all needed to use ADO rather than native VFP data modes and NET's data handling from day 1 was amazingly superior. Most if not all such assertions fell to the march of time and understanding, but the domain survives. ;-)
