I believe what you wrote, and that you wrote it in good faith, but it's still not enough to make me feel confident about using Windows. I'm a longtime Mac user but I recently bought a Windows machine, and the ads and telemetry make my skin crawl. There's a huge chasm between "we don't collect your data, period" and "we collect your data but have internal controls in place to prevent using it in certain ways for now." Apple's Spotlight Suggestions and Ad ID are real things, and IMO are mistakes. (Ad ID is not yet not yet on the Mac, thank goodness!)
