Microsoft has really poisoned the well with default-always-on-telemetry.
Technical solutions (firewalls, switching to Linux, etc.) aren't necessarily practical for many people.
> the ideal solution is one where corporations do not or are not allowed to collect telemetry by default
This is probably the only effective solution, but I don't see it happening without enforceable legislation.
