I had been looking forward to deploying Windows 10 as well as using the opportunity to update all of our hardware. Instead I find myself disappointed and, frankly, confused. Why? Well, mainly because we do not have the time and cannot afford the risk of dealing with and navigating through a security and privacy gauntlet. We need an operating system, not Facebook, running our systems. Before anyone suggests it's no big deal please consider the idea that, when it comes to an OS used in a business/professional context privacy must be a non-negotiable default. If Windows 10 had a single "Private Mode" switch that turned off all data leaks and monitoring it would be fantastic. Some might suggest it isn't a big deal because it is annonymized data. The fact that a question exists means we have a problem. It's that simple. And, yes, some of it is FUD. Suggesting a change to another OS simply isn't reasonable. For one thing, in our case we have a number of engineering applications that will only run on Windows, and that is the case for many professional users.
