I just wondered because "dishonest treatise" could be "CON TRACT".
Wasn't at all sure though, and quite glad I was wrong!

Its spyware, period. I would never use it.

You need to do better than that.
At the very least explain how Windows differs from macOS or anything Google has released in terms of tracking what you do.

I guess what he meant is he won't use any OS at all Not sure how he managed to post on this forum though.

Stop sucking up to Chris. 
I use XP, 2K and Ubuntu by the way.

He's an embedded guy - he probably hacked the front door keypad and spent several hours tapping wires together to create a binary representation of his post that was then translated and transmitted along some dodgy 9600 baud service line.
If I change one of this page's element IDs it'll totally screw him up. Listen carefully as I make the change and you will hear the howl of rage.

Ask it this way, since MSFT arent asking money for Windows 10, how is it making money for them?
--edit--
Oh, and I wouldnt buy a mac either, I am just not that image conscious. Didnt you guess that when we met?

Firstly, you're a very stylish man and you know it. A macbook draped around your shoulders would truly set off the Swarovski miniture apple watch earings you were showing off.
Secondly, ... here's an article about where MS makes its money[^]. What's fascinating to me is that ad revenue (from Bing) isn't mentioned.

Dammit Chris, you promised not to tell anyone!
I find that the sudden decision to dump win10 for free, and push it at every opportunity (like evry single link on MSDN takes you to windows 10 it seems) odd, and a bit desperate.
Now how about porting .Net to Linux? Thats weird too. Do they really think Windows has run its course and is at risk of dying?
MSFT makes their money on Office and screwing corporates for useless support contracts doesnt it? Anyway, lets look at the link... Yeah, so this is based on a 'post PC' premise, ie, windows has become unimportant to them. Kind of confirms what I said.
--edit--
This is wht I switched from windows kernel to linux kernel, the growth there is impressive, while windows kernel is dying out in the marketplace.

Remember that Apple started making OS updates free way before Windows did.

Didnt know that, but it doesnt answer the question. Does MSFT see the Windows OS PC as a dead end, a dinosaur?
|
|
|
|
|
I think they see it as a means to an end. And the end is Azure.

When I posted my negative feelings for Win10[^], there were hose who seemed hell-bent on defending it.
I suppose whatever you read never happened, lest their narrative lose it's veracity.
One is left wondering what fraction of users need to be upgraded without their permission; what percentage of users need to have their O/S elephanted by this Edsel[^]-software before they note that there's a problem and it's a big one?

I'm still using it, but I'm pretty sure Win7 was better from a user POV.
And I'm doing extra image backups in case the damn thing bricks the PC upgrading to AE...

Don't exaggerate. There are many, many of us who have had 0 problems with win10 on many different devices. That's all I saw people say.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
