For me, windows 10 is still an issue. I don’t like being spied on. I don’t like disabling cortana and bing and sending everything i type to microsoft and having my choices overwritten every single update. I don’t like having to delete fucking candy cruah for the third time. Respect the very deliberate choices I made and perhaps I’d use it seriously again.

There are several settings that will send many things you type back to Microsoft. They are on by default. “Getting to onow you” is one such setting. There are also typeahead suggestions, suggestions for handwriting, search box suggestions etc. autocomplete is fine if I am on a specific website or app but definitely not fine in an OS, especially when it turns itself back on silently after I disabled it.
