The Windows 10 privacy issues really do leave a bad taste, and I will be sticking to Windows 7/8.1 for as long as I can. There is a reason there are free upgrades to 10 being pushed so hard, and it's not because they are feeling nice.

It seems like they are giving with one hand (open source to developers) and taking with the other (data from their unsuspecting users).

Well, you know, you can't walk into the same Windows twice. (Unless you ignore all updates.)

There are different expectations for the Internet and the software that runs your hardware.
