Telemetry in Windows has been out of the box since Windows XP. Whether you are correct or not to be antagonistic about it, that ship sailed a long time before Windows 10 and current HN hysteria about it is almost funny (especially given how often articles about telemetry driven development and A/B testing get upvoted on HN when a startup is doing it). You can turn off the advertising ("Suggestions") and as long as the bundled "crapware" remains UWP sandboxed, it is a far cry from most of what the OEMs have been accused of.
