That whole PRISM thingy was the reason why I tried Linux. I didn't continue using it because I was scared for my privacy. I continued using it because it was awesome and satisfied every single one of my needs.

PRISM had nothing to do with any specific operating system. Be it Linux, OS X, Windows or anything else.

It was the theft of unencrypted data on dedicated fiber lines between data centers.

It actually didn't impact Windows, it impacted Hotmail, OneDrive, and other Microsoft "Cloud" services. Ditto with Google, Apple, et al.

Again, Microsoft was mentioned, so I tried something not made by any company that was mentioned. Is that so hard to figure out?
