"The best it has been since Windows XP ... it's all good" As far as I remember, XP had no tracking and advertisement build in by default. And it left control on when to update and when to invoke antivirus with you. Is this really all good to you? Or are you so deep invested in windows, that you can just disable them? Because I surely can disable most of that shit, too - but it takes a while and one update later it can be all back.
