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?

    If its so obscure you can't even post a link to it in TFS, then, NO.

    No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

    I thought I had an 'a href=' to the ReactOS web site in the original submission, but it does not appear to have taken. Not a 'flunkie' for their project, either.
