I am a little nervous about this switch, but it is definitely a high quality machine with solid attention to detail. Also, Windows 10 seems pretty solid. I have a long way to go, but I am hoping that I can use the Thanksgiving break to get over the hump and be relatively productive when I get back to the office on Monday. I am pretty committed to making the switch though. I am taking notes in case the transition is worth sharing later.

I am reluctantly thinking of jumping ship too. What is keeping me back is that, I remember, a little while after Windows 10 was released, there was a scandal because it sent users' data back to Microsoft, disregarding privacy settings. I haven't followed the story too much since, and could not find anything saying the issue was "fixed". Does anybody know how the story ended?

  Yes. It still sends a lot of data back.

  Unfortunately, the issue was never "fixed". Microsoft is still doing it. Some recent discussion here¹. ―――――― ¹ — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12957745 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12957745

  Yeah, I ran for political office earlier this year and took my blog down. I will probably post to Medium.
