I've had snarky replies to my anti-M$ comments basically saying that without a hint of sarcasm. I would gladly pay Microsoft for a non-spyware laden operating system. If they will not allow me to do so, then I will utilize every opportunity to dismantle and destroy their spyware in regards to any system I run. Because people should be allowed to play and communicate without some nebulous 3rd party recording everything they say and do. I don't care what they plan to do with the data they are scraping. It's amoral that they try to collect it in the first place regardless of their justification.

> then I will utilize every opportunity to dismantle and destroy their spyware in regards to any system I run. If you are really serious about it, you should stop supporting MS and abandon their broken OS, which fights against you on your own computer. I did and couldn't be happier.

  For my personal computers, I primarily use linux. For work computers I advocate for linux based servers and have succeeded in a few cases but I can't get rid of windows for our end-users. However, as a sysadmin I uninstall as much spyware as possible from our images and add any non-service interrupting blocks that I can to make it difficult for M$ to spy on my coworkers.
