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?

    I haven't used Photoshop in years, but if you need something that's compatible with Photoshop saves and runs on Linux, you might take a look at http://www.thebloomapp.com/features/ [thebloomapp.com] . It's still in development, but it's already rather impressive.

    But, that being said, professionals that need to interoperate with work by other professionals are pretty much stuck using PS as it's the only way to guarantee complete compatibility.
