I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted so badly. The top comments to the linked article are about how atrocious MS has been in force-upgrading / no upgrade control / no-option telemetry. I think this is a primary reason MS won't meet their goal. By all other measures and reviews it is a top notch OS. The fact that they are using shady tactics with this OS to start vendor lockin and to jumpstart their only-by-subscription options is why people are jumping ship to the viable alternatives.

It's likely getting downvoted so badly because of the use of "crapware" to describe the product - which is a negative contribution to the discussion here.

  There. Better now? Not triggering anyone? (See this for context - IMNSHO a program which does this fully deserves its accolades, no matter if it's pushed by the OS vendor or not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846198 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11846198 )
