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.

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. > You can consent or not, they're going to do it anyway.
