Re: [OM] Linux/Photoshop question

Thanks, David.  I have download and installed it on Win 7.  It turns out 
that Microsoft has some call home telemetry installed in Win 7 and 8.1 
as well.  But the biggest surprise here was that MS may turn your 
privacy settings back to their own defaults after a system update. 
Spybot-anti-beacon will return them to your own settings after every 
re-boot.  Such stuff should not be necessary.
