Oh my, I have opened a can of worms, haven't I? Sorry OP, guess I might as well respond...
1. Shadorino as I understand it programs like ShutUp10 might stop working for a while after a windows update untill they get updated themselves, during which time you are still vulnerable.
2. AnyOldName3 even if " the really bad stuff" is gone(and some reports say that it's still there under the hood so I wouldn't be 100% sure) that doesn't make all the crap that's left acceptable.
3. JonnyH and AnyOldName3 while it's true microshit tried to port some of that stuff over to windows 7, in win7 it's easy(if you're carefull) to just skip installing those updates, disable the "Diagnostics Tracking" service and you're done. Things aren't baked into the system like in win 10.
Conclusion(at least for me), no matter where/what the truth might be exactly or what it will be in the future this whole fiasco was enough to make me lose trust in microshit and all it's future products forever! So I'm gonna stick with win7 until the day I die or until the day that it becomes 100% unusable anymore in those modern times.
And if the latter comes to pass then............ hopefully by that time someone will have had the balls to create a linux os with full windows compatability and had the strenght to go live in a cave for the rest of his life since microshit will obviously wanna hunt him down and sue the crap out of him for using their kernel. If not, I don't know what the f*** I'm gonna do......
