Windows 10 is a no-go for me because of its embedded
telemetry/spyware features and its lack of control over updates. I plan
to avoid it for as long as I can, maybe forever.

Is the product usable ?

Is the company trustworthy ?

These are the things that count.

It is the philosophy of the approach we
object to. A short baseline traffic analysis
with an incomplete sampling is not going
to change basic opinion on the topic.

For example, how do you know that WinPCAP captured
all the traffic ? What if the network stack was compromised,
so some of the traffic was not captured by Wireshark at all ?
You would need to include external packet tracing (done by a box
outside the computer), correlate with Wireshark tracing, and
making sure nothing "got lost".

Your analysis techniques must be of the same quality as the
techniques used for dealing with malware. Virtually any
subsystem could be compromised. Why ? It's the philosophy of
the product, that virtually any outrage is justifiable
for capitalist gain. And some of us consider that
a step too far. We're not riding in that clown car.

Previously, we bought an OS, and it was ours to use, without
observation or snooping. We could sit quietly in front
of the computer, and not see the LEDs on the NIC interface
flash at all. If we wanted to run a benchmark, we could
run a benchmark without maintenance activity interfering
with and polluting the results. We can't do that any more.

I have a copy of Win10, but I can tell you I'm not
sitting in front of it. I don't surf on it. I don't
send email on it. On purpose, no microphone is
connected. On purpose, no webcam is connected.
Why ? Philosophy.

We didn't agree to turn our desktops into smartphones.
Nor clean up the mess using "43 toggle switches". What
we got is not a traditional desktop OS.
