    WHAT IN THE NINE DEPTHS OF DEVELOPER HELL
    is up with microsoft and their user tracking?

    Are you aware that they tie everything up with your microsoft account then see how you use your device and all the privacy along with it?

    For this reason I am seriously considering ditching win10 for some linux distro

    Want to hear your thoughs on this

    :)
