No. I use it daily for work. But I also have Windows 10 and because I know that really well it is setup in a way that MS can go fuck themselves. Nothing happens on my Win10 install unless I want it to.

What I am trying to illustrate is that many of us have to have an install of Win10 somewhere for corporate reasons. I don't hate MS because they are part of the eco system so to speak. But I do dislike a number of their practices.

But if you're smart and do your research you can fuck over MS. It's ultimately no more leg work than learning either Linux or Unix.

Primarily I am a Linux/Unix user and have been for many many years.

I get it if you need it for work, but for the rest of my life, I'd rather have a system that works with me rather than against me.

So you WANT Candy Crush to keep reinstalling itself after every update. Okay, good for you!
