While I do agree that Android has privacy problem, it's probably the best mobile choice in regards to those factors right now (since everything else is closed as much as possible). > Microsoft generally comes out as one of the most admired and most ethical companies http://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2015/03/09/microsoft-on-the-worlds-most-ethical-companies-list-5-years-in-a-row/ http://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2015/03/09/microsof... https://www.quora.com/How-did-Microsoft-become-the-worlds-most-ethical-company https://www.quora.com/How-did-Microsoft-become-the-worlds-mo... In all seriousness, I'm supposed to believe that someone who has released a system like win10 is ethical? They made their goals clear with this one. Perhaps they don't spill the oil in the ocean or make dubious financial schemes like those banks, but that's not enough for me, sorry. > Windows source code is available on application ;-) Same way intel ME source is probably available somewhere to someone, doesn't mean they shouldn't be burned down to the ground for inventing it.

It's a mobile operating system and in my opinion the privacy issues have been ridiculously overblown. I don't use Chrome, and I do use Ghostery and uBlock Origin and a few other things, but I have no problems using my Windows 10 set-up with Basic telemetry. Windows 10 is already being rolled out by the US Defense Department (for the increased security), and almost all global companies are going to move to it in the 2020s. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt577208%28v=vs.85%29.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt577208%28v=vs....
