Thanks for linking to those interesting quotes.
He makes a good point to the developers, but I'll go even further.
If I ever release anything else for Windows®, I'll make sure that it won't run on 10.
My apps not running in 10 would likely happen anyway
, but I'll take extra measures just to make sure.

Of course, they are a US Corporation therefore subject to those freedom robbing federal Executive Orders.
but Microsoft is probably not alone in this, and unless you only run your own OS, and even then, how can you be sure you are not constantly being monitored?
the only way I see is that you isolate yourself completely from the internet and perhaps become a monk in an impossibly accessible monastery.
I try to avoid fear based speculating and I try to stick to the facts.
Unfounded fear is never a good thing, and acting on it is worse.
I think that fear of Windows Vista 10 is well founded.
I have very little fear of Windows® XP which I am currently running, or UBUNTU 14.04 LTS which is what I run the other half of the time.
The hardware that I use is called a PC.
What I use to utilize the hardware is a PC operating system.
At this point I consider both XP and UBUNTU 14.04 to be perfectly fine PC operating systems.
Once the Vista 10 EULA is comprehended on an adult level, can one seriously consider Windows® 10 to be in any reasonable sense of the term, a
personal computer operating system?
In my opinion, developing proprietary intellectual property such as computer software, music, a novel, or even graphics artwork,
while using the non-Enterprise version of Vista 10,
is a huge risk to the content's confidentiality,
and would be an extremely unwise practice.
Microsoft explains why it's pushing Windows 10 so aggressively (spoiler: it's to keep you safe)
"Maybe instead of trying to force users of older versions of Windows onto its new OS, Microsoft should take the time to figure out what it is about Windows 10 that’s keeping users away."
Yes indeed
jack, they just can't react logically with the 'hidden hand' of the USGovt directing their every move.
