The number of Windows 10 installations not connected to the internet
is miniscule. Once you are connected, they have control. Microsoft can
change their activation policy, as well as what happens to non-activated
systems, at any time. As I said, product activation alone is enough to
keep me away from Microsoft products aside from any other considerations.
