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?

You can also get dedicated hardware serial to ethernet converter boxes. I used these to replace a rats-nest of serial cables in the office of a manufacturing plant and they seemed to work quite well, at least for printers and dumb terminals and that sort of thing.

That could work straight from the VM to the serial port. Though, powering it up in the field might be a problem unless it could be powered from USB.
