If Microsoft has full access to your hard drive and can make changes to your system and files any time they want they own a lot more than your user profile. It's their system. They are the admin, and you are a peasant and the extent of your access to your(?) data and Microsoft's system can be limited or revoked at any time.

- tatersolid 4y agoThe exact same thing can be said of Debian maintainers, Ubuntu maintainers, etc. They probably “own” as many servers as Microsoft. The real-world number of linux admins who inspect all packages before applying them is basically zero. Most Linux/BSD systems likely have unattended upgrades enabled by default.
