I cancelled Facebook in part due to a tug-of-war over privacy defaults. They kept getting updated with some corporate pablum about how opting in benefited the user. It was just easier to permanently opt out via account deletion rather than keep toggling the options. I have no doubt Microsoft will do the same. I'm wiping my Windows partition and loading Steam OS or some variant and dual booting into some TBD Linux distro for development.

When I truly need Windows, I have an ARM VM in Parallels. Right now it gets used once a year at tax time.
