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?

There *__is* intelligent life on Earth, but I leave for Texas on Monday.

Nice for a small mom-n-pop shop maybe, but I can absolutely guarantee that an automotive manufacturer or aerospace company is not going to scrap millions of dollars of installed systems to let a guerrilla controls engineer retrofit their latest raspberry pi or arduino concoction into all their production machinery. The real world has a sensible inertia all its own.
I just run VMware on Debian and be done with it. Plays well with all the big boys (Siemens, Rockwell, Fanuc, Delta V, etc.)
