In bed with the NSA, telemetry, forced W10 migration, just off the top of my head.
That said, I do appreciate their recent strategy decisions. Lets hope at some point the two hemispheres of MS converge.

Microsoft being (possibly) the biggest 'partner' of the NSA is one of the worst aspects of this acquisition and underrepresented in these discussions here.

Incorrect. Nagged, yes, but my Windows 7 machine that runs my Primera 4102 DVD duplicator still runs Windows 7 and will for as long as I own it. And it wasn't that hard to find the "don't nag me about upgrading ever again" option on Windows 7.
You may have missed a few news items and non-apologies over the last few years.
There was a peroid where interacting with (closing) the windows 10 upgrade popup caused an unexpected upgrade to windows 10, stop rewriting history.
How is "I was able to tell my machine to stop nagging me and not upgrade to Windows 10" rewriting history? I'll take the kudos that I have way-above-average skills with Windows if you want to bestow that on me, but I know of no cases not-involving confused users hitting something they should not have where a machine was upgraded without any user interaction at all. By all means: send me links to such stories if you have them and I will concede the point to you.
