There must be a reason why Microsoft is working so strenuously to force people to “upgrade” to Win10.
If only someone would explain it... :(
My guess is that Microsoft sees its future as a company that sells ad targeting to business. All those privacy violations in Win 10 let the company build up a picture of each Windows user as a consumer. If an operating system is also an advertising platform, there is more money to be made from targeted ads than from selling the OS.
Just a guess.
Win 10 data harvests every keystroke and reports it back to MS.
This data is sold to advertisers and anyone else with money, an ax to grind, or surrendered to anyone who got a warrant under even the flimsiest of pretexts.
If you aren't the paying customer, YOU are the product.
