I didn't mean to imply that Windows offers more privacy at all. I think it's mostly a disaster of an operating system, but it does have a lot of useful software that I'd like to have access to. For example, programming the PLCs I use for automation absolutely requires Windows. As far as privacy goes, I'd depend on Linux. As for nice user interfaces, cohesion, consistency, any kind of unification: I just have to leave it behind. But I think I can eventually develop and find something 'good enough' that isn't dependent on Apple to maintain and improve. No mandatory regressions.
