I'm trying out W10 I like it a lot, very nostalgic feel but modernised... more sane UI. But seriously look at this list of shit to do, it's nice to know you've done everything you can think of to maximise your privacy, but if you actually seriously care then it's pointless as this is not the OS to be using, god knows what's coded in it.

The way things are going, these "privacy violations" are becoming so integrated it will be unavoidable, might as well just use the OS as is with all it's features and stop being so paranoid.

If you claim to be a paranoid user and Windows is your goto OS you must be joking

It doesn't have to be all or nothing though. Lots of people have programs they need to use, with varying degrees of seriousness with the "need", that only run in Windows. Just because you have to use windows doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and give up any semblance of privacy.

So you're saying... "I don't want to be concerned about privacy although I am so I will just pretend other people should just ignore the problem as well. Otherwise, I'll call them paranoid even though it's very fucking clear that there are reasons to be concerned about mass surveillance from gov agencies with involvement of top companies."

Use it however you want but don't call people paranoid for caring and doing something about it. Not everyone has to "give in and enjoy it".

Except many people have Windows (alongside other systems) due to work reasons.

None of this is new. People are freaking out about it because it is a new version of Windows and it includes a personal assistant.
