It might be "fun" to dump on MS, but the thing with MS tech is that, like it or not, it definitely 'sticks around'. They are probably the best in business at ensuring backwards compatibility. At work we're using win

I think it is fair to know exactly what data I'm giving up and what Google is doing with it, if I chose to exchange it for free services and goods. Hopefully someone with a spine comes to power and enacts some regulation allowing use

If you don't want an internet enabled device, then you are looking in the wrong place. The I in IoT stands for internet.

>Certainly I could (or at least someone with the engineering skills could), but the actual IoT companies don't. That is incorrect. There are several IoT products with manual fallback options on the market. I don't even know why

As you can imagine, its a vast vast field, and probably researching just one mechanism of an anticancer drug would consume all of ones career. This seems to be a good primer - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2976857
