As I'm about to go through the trouble of setting up a complex whitelist-based firewall for a Virtual Machine that'll host Windows 10, I'm starting to wonder if Windows 10 are in fact as vicious and eavesdropping as /g/ presents them to be.
Sure, the EULA has some retarded shit build into it, but does microsoft really do this?
Do they really log and sent to their servers all local searches, file hashes, keylogs, history etc etc?
Or is this just a stupid internet joke made up by 14 year olds?

They don't
I'm not retarded enough to believe what some /g/ high school dropouts say so I checked it myself. I installed W10 in VM, changed outbound traffic policy in Windows Firewall to block and made a rule to unblock only the web browser.
I've been using this VM for few days looking at funny memes then I compared total data usage with OpenWrt statistics on the router. Guess what, it was the same

I don't believe the windows botnet conspiracies myself, but I'd imagine a vm environment would be a huge red flag for windows 10 not to start botnetting.

Of course they fucking do. How do you think they will serve you targeted ads?

CISO here.
Microsoft exfiltrates a lot of data using obscure and vague domain names.
It is worse than /g/ suspects, because most of /g/ here are either consumer plebs or callcenter/support minions.
Microsoft also employs shady blackhat methods to attach datastreams to certain downloads and uploads. I notice it frequently when checking argus/bro logs.
