"But it’s a shame that Microsoft made users choose between having privacy and security."
Great article, but this part is simply wrong. Microsoft chose to remove both. You now have an operating system without security that is known to steal data and install things on its own (malware). How can EFF say this OS is more secure when Microsoft can and does access any data on the system at any time without asking for permissions? When even the permissions dialogs are fake? To classify this as anything but malware would be willful stupidity at this point.
It's not that the OS has less security, now it has none. In fact, users running Windows 10 might want to question whether they even own their machines anymore. Physical possession aside, when one no longer controls the software or data on a machine can one be said to own said machine? Can one be held responsible for what it does? What if Microsoft decides to download child porn on everyone's machine? Considering what they've done in the last year, I wouldn't put it past them.
