There is no "cloud", there are "servers you don't control".

For me, it's easier done than said. To not use Windows 10, I don't need to do anything. To say "don't use Windows 10", I need to spend some time actually saying it.

Can you elaborate on this? Your respone seems very emotional, but you don't provide any facts. In my experience with SO, if an answer has a score below zero, it's because the answer is either irrelevant or wrong. And I do sometime
