1. I, personally, abhor anything that gives MS more control of my minute-by-minute use.

If you follow the progression from Win 7, 8, 10, and updates of 10, MS is becoming much more invasive.

Remember how they forced 10 on unsuspecting people in a manor resembling using a club?

They treat us like "users," not valuable customers.

Once Win 10 is offered on machines only as a "service," they will monitor everything we do and constrain us in the use of our machines.

I plan to be done with all MS hardware and software within a few years.
