That is something I do not care about it enough to dissuade me from the rest of the windows experience. Even accounting for it, the windows experience is still superior to linux for me. I suspect this applies to a big chunk of the population as well who don't care about open source/telemetry etc. If it comes down to it, I can add some rules in the hosts file or run some powershell scripts.

Beware of this though, if you really want to remove all the telemetry. Seems like telemetry is deeply ingrained in the OS. Last time I used Windows tried to enable every option in O&O ShutUp10, got a BSOD.

on top of that, Microsoft has thousands of different domains they use for telemetry, good luck trying to stay up to date with that...
