W10 Confirmed Malware Edition treats the used as a teenage girl ripe for the raping. In every possible sense. But well, useds are asking for it, apparently. On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 1:37 AM, Peter Gutmann <pgut001@cs.auckland.ac.nz> wrote:

W10 is free and it's being pushed hard by MS. They even force W7 and W8 users to download it when they aren't interested in 'upgrading'. So, if the product is free for you, who is the customer?
You're the product, not Windows. That was the good thing about the old Microsoft (yes, there were good things about them), they took your money and left you alone to do whatever you wanted with their software. Now, like Google (where you're entirely the product, for sale to anyone with money) and Apple (where you're still the product, but the sole customer is Apple), they're turning their customers into the product.
(Not to mention that W10 has moved even further along the path of treating your PC like a cellphone. It's possibly the first GUI I've used that was literally painful to use, the all-white-all-the-time UI theme was like staring into a lightbox, my eyes hurt after an hour of two of setting up a neighbour's PC).
