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?

We are not a really big shop (3000 employees). The next generation of software that is being produced in house are java web applications and js-rich apps with java webservices backends.

Your company is 100 times as large as my company. You can accept somewhat higher costs of Java Web applications, as they are balanced by easier deployment and higher portability - which matters, as you have many users. For us it is more practical for now to write the cheapest applications and just use a few PCs that run them locally.
