Microsoft's telemetry features in Windows 10 are a privacy advocate's nightmare. Now that Microsoft is trying to back port these "features" into existing versions of Windows, it seems like many of us have no future upgrade path. Sure there is Linux, but I have some older Windows software that I still want to use. ReactOS is still out there, but does not look like there have been any updates in a while.
Does the Soylent community believe it is possible to get this project going full steam to producing a useable alternative for existing Windows users?

What is your MS Money alternative? (genuinely interested in the answer, not trolling here)

AFAIK MS Money doesn't exist at all anymore. That was completely canceled a few years back.
I've personally used Moneydance, but I've found the way it does the accounting to be really annoying. I haven't used it in a few years, but it failed miserably at handling bank transfers. It would insist on duplicating the transaction so that it could remove money and put it on the right day, so you'd either have the money being in the wrong place at the wrong time or you'd have double the amount being transered.
But, it's a nice program if you don't mind having to manually adjust things like that. Hopefully they've fixed that in the mean time.

I replaced MS Money 99 with kmymoney. It works fine for what I needed it for, which is checking/savings ledger. I back up the database to a flashdrive.
