Microsoft wants to control your Windows 10 desktop. Now are you ready to try a Linux desktop?

Microsoft is reducing the data it collects from your Windows 10 PCs, but what does that really mean? Good question. Microsoft isn’t saying.
Microsoft wants to make it clear that the last bits of MS-DOS, cmd.exe, aren’t going away.
