> Yes Windows is more surveillance software than Android or Apple are this is cheap > There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account. You can opt out of "some" tracking. But that is all. You have an advertising ID, a Chrome/Safari ID, an IMEI etc.
