+=== What is Windows Telemetry? ===
+The default-enabled Windows 10 telemetry feature set periodically sends usage and performance data to select Microsoft IP addresses.
+=== What is telemetry data? ===
+Windows 10 transmits the following data back to the company:
+* Typed text on keyboard sent every 30 minutes (//my favorite one!//)
+* Transmits anything you say into a microphone
+* Transcripts of things you say while using Cortana (//we'll disable it too//)
+* Index of all media files on your computer
+* When your webcam is first enabled, 35mb of data
+* Telemetry data
