I feel like I'm much closer to permanently moving to Linux.

Seen this coming ( and said so at the time ) since they gave away win 10..and tried to backport the snoopyness to 7 and 8 via the "updates" to those older versions..

Moved those peoples machines ( which connect to the net ) which I look after, to Linux as soon as it became obvious ( around the time of win8's launch ) that MS were eyeing Adobe's invigorated profits since Adobe moved to subscription and "cloud".

MS should have made a success of their various winphones, instead of which they made a total cluster**ck of their chances at mobile, and mobile phone use is where all the eyeballs are, except those of businesses and webmasters. Enterprise customers are not likely to take kindly to the idea of renting their ( in many cases ) customised ( by their sysadmins ) versions of winfoo, especially as the "authentification servers" at MS are known for suddenly declaring genuine installs of MS products to be fake.

Redhat ( amongst others) will appreciate the boost to business as MS business customers start exploring the alternatives..Apple too..

This is not going to go over well in some enterprise environments. They're going to have to continue to offer the OS without this managed option or they're going to scare off all the system administrators. I could see the attraction for smaller outfits without IT departments, but I don't see how this would fly in a traditional environment.

I'm with LifeinAsia above.

Yep for Browsers, mail, downloads...

All else?

I might go back to trouble free Windows XP totally divorced from the internet.

Wasn't there a froofraw a few versions back when they tried to forcibly integrate the whole OS with MSIE?
