Does anyone know if the windows insider program makes the user unable to turn off all the ‘phone home’ junk in windows 10? Do they require that you send them info automatically such as usage, browsing etc for purposes of development?

I missed out on the offer of windows 10 because I procrastinated too long- but I don’t relish the thought of not having control over phone home junk if that would be the case with the insider program

Good question, I honestly don't know, but I assume that the point of the insider program is precisely to gather telemetry like crazy. I can't imagine they would give away advance copies of releases unless they were looking for more detailed feedback not merely opinions.
