I can understand that it sounds extreme, but I am sincere about it. These are not merely missteps. There is an extremely long trail (just search MS news) where it has become crystal clear that MS knows not any boundary in principle. MS acts like the computer and its data as its own, the user is just a hostage. (Even in a dual boot setup MS keeps setting Windows as default boot option). The amount of telemetry, browsing history and what not that MS pumps out of your devices is mind boggling. The tech savy user has limited control about that. And they need to stay vigilant because each update can introduce new attacks on their privacy or security. You should not trust such an actor. I did the math and moved over to Linux completely.
