I have blacklisted Microsoft after all the shady, user-hostile tricks they've pulled in the last 5-10 years. They'll have to work extremely hard just to leave that blacklist.
Same here. Windows was my daily driver until Windows 7, but I stopped using any Windows platform as of Windows 10 because of the telemetry and spyware. I don't care how snappy Windows is, I'm not returning until they provably cut out all the spyware by default. I don't care if you can turn off a lot of the telemetry using a hundred little commands, registry settings, and menus. It should be off by default. Really, how is anyone OK with Windows sending every keystroke you type to Microsoft (for spell checking apparently) under the standard install of Windows?
I feel that macOS is unfortunately getting out of hand with telemetry as well.
