Microsoft is evil and tracks your actions. So you should totally trust a patched version of Windows published by ameliorated.info.

I'll take my chances with Microsoft-sanctioned telemetry over whatever this is.

I've no idea what this crap is doing here.

It's also warez and no one but microsoft can distribute Windows ISO images.

Windows Ameliorated does not require installing from an ISO. That was merely made for convenience, and for those without the basic technical knowledge required to perform a manual amelioration. There is detailed documentation for performing a manual amelioration, it uses fully open-source scripts.(https://wiki.ameliorated.info/doku.php?id=documentation_21h1)

The ISO has been used by hundreds of people, with no sign of malicious intent, so personally I'm willing to trust that as well.
