> Windows 10 is such a total dumpster fire - privacy nightmare, usability nightmare... Gee, it's so easy to say things like that without qualifying them at all isn't it? Here let me try: Android is such a total dumpster fire-privacy nightmare and usability nightmare. I wouldn't use an Android device if they were giving them away! Hey, at least you can get update for Windows 10 without waiting on any carriers though, lol ;)

1. I've been running a custom ROM on my phone for the past four years. This custom ROM had AppOps before Google's Android, it shields my data from peeking/demanding apps until I allow them, and for apps that don't understand the concept of politely asking me if I would give them my data, this custom ROM fakes it. I keep even Play Services under restrictions. An update for it is available every night. A stable update comes in every few months. And a security update right after disclosure. Windows 10 can shout "But ... Android!" all it wants to justify its own shoddy actions, but until the source code to Windows 10 is released, Windows 10 just doesn't have the same grounds for that argument. ---- 2. Android isn't a desktop OS. A desktop OS hiding behind an argument like, "But ... [some] people let that mobile OS get away with it! Why can't I do it too!?" ignores the difference between people using computers for leisure and convenience and people using computers for work. ---- TL;DR: 1. At least with Android, you can turn whatever you don't like off. 2. Windows Phone's antics might be an apples to apples comparison against Android, but Windows Desktop isn't.
