The picture that hit the front page (https://i.imgur.com/BsLARf3.jpg)) is ugly, yes, but it points out some serious issues with windows 10. This got me thinking and when you put things together it all makes sense
We know google and Microsoft give everything to the NSA. Now microsoft releases a crappy ver of windows (8) and then because they are such nice people they decide to give windows 10 away for FREE! They pay the tech reviewers to say win 10 is the best ever, and because its free everyone upgrades to win 10. A company would never, ever, give their flagship software away for free. Unless of course, they make more money another way. Such as from the goverment paying for all your information. And when i say all, i mean all. It gives the NSA access to a keylogger on your computer, your wifipassword, your location, the name and nickname of everyone you contact, your search history outside of just google, all your emails, and they can watch your skype calls too. Oh and if they need more info? They just force a update on your machine with anything else they may want because you can't turn off updates.
What better way to watch everyone then to pay the biggest OS producer to give away their OS for free and jam it full of datamining and spy malware?
They knew this would spread so out comes the shills. "Keyloggers are totally normal so they can help you search better", and "other companies do these too its no big deal!". Don't forget the favorite "microsoft will totally obey the law and not do anything bad with this". Yeah just like how all the big telecom companys obeyed the law by giving the NSA all your contact history illegally. When the government threatens, companies comply. Legality is beside the fact.
It's time to change OS, and not to windows 10.

Take it as you wish, but another user described some of the Win10 issues in the comment below.

Some, yes. But missed the big ones like keylogging and accessing emails. He also has the classic "this isn't new, other companies do it too!" Is NOT an excuse. If anything it should be used to spread awareness and shame and bring attention these other companies.

True, he did miss some of the larger issues as you mentioned. And I 100% agree that this would be made well aware for all users. Even more interesting is the effect that Win10 may have on large companies.
Example: I work for a large company (in the United States) and just yesterday there was a memo sent about updating to Win10 within a year (which is odd b/c we and many other similar companies use so many legacy applications, I'm still stuck on IE7!). The real surprising thing is, that most conspire don't roll out a new OS for a while after its launch; I mean just 3 years ago we got 7, which was about 2.5 years after its release.
Makes me kinda wonder if this is being implemented so quickly to help "catch" whistleblowers. Or at least something seems a little fishy about the quick OS upgrade.
