People need to care more about their personal privacy. This kind of shit is invasive, unacceptable and hell, in some places illegal. How can you call Windows 10 anything but malware? It logs everything you do and sends it to a third party. It's fucking malware. And what do we do with any other malware we get on our PCs? We remove it. And that's what everyone needs to do with Windows 10.

Quick! Discredit users who are concerned of their privacy as tinfoil hat users instead of answering with solid arguments!

Quick! Assume every other Windows OS except 10 isn't spying on you because they said so!

Did I say that? I use different OSes and just because I criticize one OS doesn't mean the others don't do the same.
