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?

    Not to mention that if you're coding applications that work with serial, you may even have to change your code in specific ways to accommodate USB-serial adapters.

    And another note, anybody who thinks that RS-232 is an ancient and obsolete technology has never held any real technical or industrial job. RS-232 is still found everyfuckingwhere in industry.
