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?

Someone modded you troll. Apparently, they don't work with industrial equpiment. Branson welders discovered the truth of what you're saying. They stopped making Windows controlled welders, and switched off to Linux. None of our capital investment level equipment has ever used Windows. None of our small peripheral equipment has ever used Windows. Only Branson has ever used Windows, and they saw the light. (Their welders fill a middle ground, costing only a small fraction of our plastic injection machines, but substantially more than small punch presses and other peripherals.)
