First time I helped to install Win10:
- How many install it without a MS account? 5%? Less?
- Lots of #darkpattern 'choices' regarding personal data
- 'Tailored experiences with diagnostic data'
Digital profiling for personalization+ads based on 'diagnostic data' …seriously?

'If you have selected Full, personalization is also based on information about the websites you browse, how you use apps and features' #preselected
So, Win10 tricks users into massive digital profiling based on everything they do? This is not what an operating system should do.

And it gets even better. Ultimately, Microsoft asks users to 'let apps use' their 'advertising ID', which is a unique identifier for each person using a Win10 device.
This identifier is much better suited to link profile data across many different companies than a name.
