    at this point i believe that MS is using the FOSS/gaming enthusiast community as free marketing. perfect ragebait content to get people talking about their product and this entire platform is playing right into it.

          I get the spirit of the saying, but sometimes there is. May not put an end to a business, but certainly there are consequences. Look at Tesla, Boeing.

          I mean, lots of people are staying on win10 because of the shit-wagon 11 already is. From the retro-compatibility issues to the idiotic Adds ecc. Now they’re literally saying that the whole OS will spy both on the “contents” and the “usage” of the users… Honestly either they overestimate their AI services or the think that most of people are just too stupid to realize the level of shit they are forcing on them.

            I don’t count it as stupidity so much as most people don’t keep up on this sort of stuff. It’ll be installed in their OS and they don’t know any better that all that data is being processed by M$.

            or the think that most of people are just too stupid to realize the level of shit they are forcing on them.

            Most people don’t care, many are too stupid, and those that aren’t are already on other platforms.
