No experience, (no W10), but if it does what it says it is a great thing to have.
I hope it doesn't send all that stuff to "Russian Hackers" instead.

We hesitate to use it because we practice (extreme) skeptical computing.

However, it sounds like the perfect app.

We did some incredibly inelegant programming this evening and came up with this:

def isprime(n):
    for i in xrange(2, int(n**0.5) + 1):
        if n % i == 0:
            return False
    return True
list = [2, 3, 5, 7]
while list != []:
    print list
    tmp = []
    for i in list:
        for j in range(i * 10, i * 10 + 10):
            if isprime(j) == True:
                tmp.append(j)
    list = tmp

The program appears to "run out of data" at eight iterations:

[2, 3, 5, 7]
[23, 29, 31, 37, 53, 59, 71, 73, 79]
[233, 239, 293, 311, 313, 317, 373, 379, 593, 599, 719, 733, 739, 797]
[2333, 2339, 2393, 2399, 2939, 3119, 3137, 3733, 3739, 3793, 3797, 5939, 7193, 7331, 7333, 7393]
[23333, 23339, 23399, 23993, 29399, 31193, 31379, 37337, 37339, 37397, 59393, 59399, 71933, 73331, 73939]
[233993, 239933, 293999, 373379, 373393, 593933, 593993, 719333, 739391, 739393, 739397, 739399]
[2339933, 2399333, 2939999, 3733799, 5939333, 7393913, 7393931, 7393933]
[23399339, 29399999, 37337999, 59393339, 73939133]

We expect this is not very interesting but it was fun for us.

I'm not sure what's going on here (other than the fact that there are Mersenne Prime exponents), but the title is German for "Project Floating Calculator Heating Unit". Are you using your computers to heat your home or something? That's not very energy efficient.

Which company do you trust more? Microsoft or a company you have never heard of?
