MS shift is from developing and charging you $200 for greatly working operating system (and making this way $1B a year) to giving you the system practically free (hello Apple) and having you operate in one giant magnifying glass, where every move of your mouse and ever letter you type is send to MS to later digest and somewhat make decisions on what you want from life in terms of ability to advertise stuff back at you, whether from Bing that you use or in some way selling signals you send them to third parties so they serve you more "relevant" content making $1B plus a few more $Bs!
Conspiracy theory?? With fully working W10, from other than internet source load to your desktop photos of Ferraris, or simply name few photos "Ferrari". You will quickly see, within days how the ads being targeted to you on this computer are somewhat related to racing cars, luxury cars, etc.
I made up my mind already. Windows 7 with uninstalled telemetry crap is my last standing Windows. I just got new laptop and its got enough Windows 7 drivers to install clean copy. But moving forward I will have to be forced to go into Linux... at least glad my work doesn't require any sophisticated tools that work only on specific platform.
