You have the choice to not use Windows if you don't like their data 
collection policies.

I don't like that they extract anything whatsoever from my computer: 
it's none of their business.  Or that they try to make you sign in to an 
MS account just to login to your damn computer.

It's conceivable there could come a day when I won't tolerate some MS 
policy or another, and switch to Macs or Linux.  Unlikely but possible.
