#2The link from the PDF booklet targeted to those who would buy Microsoft's ad services:
https://about.ads.microsoft.com/en-us?s_int=en-us-gct-web-sr...
"Sign up for a Microsoft Advertising account to take advantage of these tools or get in touch with an account representative. If you already have a Microsoft Advertising account, log in or talk to your account representative about how to be a High Performer"
which leads one to, as the author writes, the page with the first picture of
"a couple of dudes snooping on animals, taking pictures and analyzing them while on Safari."
I don't think the choice of the photo is irrelevant.

Irrelevant. Safari isn't available on windows. Edge, Chrome or Firefox would be relevant.

#4Microsoft had the dominant consumer operating system since the 1980s. Using that advantage (and not innovation and quality !) they were able to grab substantial chunks of other markets:
Word processing, commercial compilers, cloud computing etc. Next up is digital assistants and advertising.
What is the alternative for average consumers ? Chrome books ?

Did capitalization mislead you, is it an attempt to be funny or even something else?
"This article is about the type of overland journey. For the web browser, see Safari (web browser). For other uses, see Safari (disambiguation)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safari
"A safari /səˈfɑːri/ (Swahili: safari) is an overland journey, usually a trip by tourists in Africa. In the past, the trip was often a big-game hunt, but today, safaris are often to observe and photograph wildlife—or hiking and sightseeing, as well."
In this context the "dudes" with the binoculars are the clients of Microsoft who pay Microsoft organizing them the "safari" privilege to snoop the "normal users" ("animals") living their lives.

#6I agree that more data crunch-n-munching would make a nice feature-set for GlassWire. It still always makes my list of must-have installations though.
... "GlassWire 2.0 comes with a free 7 day trial so you can try out all its paid Basic, Pro, Elite features. After 7 days GlassWire will revert to its free version."

#7We've been using this tool to strip out unwanted Microsoft 'features' such as Cortana. Its a powershell script you simply give it your Windows ISO and it lets you remove applications and services you don't wanted installed. It creates a really awesome Windows OS. I highly recommend it.

GNU/Linux! Any mainstream beginner friendly GNU/Linux distribution like Linux Mint or Ubuntu will be descent enough for average consumers. Unless you are heavily dependent on Adobe softwares(even then, you can consider dual boot), they are now much more elegant than windows. Getting quality support from forums is actually much easier with GNU/Linux. Last time when I had a problem with Windows 10, where everything saved to C:/ would disappear after restart, I was unable to get any useful support from their forums. On the other had, most problems I encounter while using a linux distribution is just a search away! I'm currently using Arch linux(before that I used Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora etc...), and my less technically inclined family uses Elementary OS. Try a linux distribution like Linux Mint or Kubuntu. It's worth the time!
