#3I had been a long time Windows user, at home (W10) and work(7/Server/Datacenter). Windows had been getting just more and more intrusive like a malware since the last couple years. I hope they do something to stop that.
I have recently moved to Fedora and it is just awesome. Pretty much everything works like amazing. Its not a complete replacement if you are gaming, nvidia drivers are a bit painful to install but everything else just works. Its been stable even after an update to Fedora 24->25. I am so amazed at how far linux has come. I am so satisfied with it that i am not moving back to Windows for home usage.
I hope Microsoft stops with auto-update, otherwise the alternatives are also catching up fast if you are not a gamer.

#4I recommend using Spybot Anti-Beacon [1], which is a safe way of disabling (or enabling) Windows 10 features.

If you can get ahold of the Windows 10 LTSB (Long-term servicing branch) distribution, it's actually really nice. Windows without the store, the cruft, the forced updates, and the telemetry. Unfortunately I believe you need MSDN or an enterprise volume licensing deal to have access to it.

#6Stuff like this is fundamentally unworkable when the people pushing software updates are your adversaries. They already do stuff like ignore DNS settings and firewall rules to send harvested data back to microsoft. They will almost certainly break anything this does in the future too...

#7I wonder what MS employees think when every week a new tool pops up disabling data mining in their OS.

It's just so embarrassing to RDP to a windows server and see ads, news, and a store in the start menu.
Why the hell anyone would want that on a server is beyond me.

I've had a number of friends who have had to do reinstalls after running these kinds of scripts. Easy to break lots of subtle things.

It's editable. There's a lot of stuff in there I had to remove. I still want Store functionality because I like the look and feel of the apps on there, especially the Twitter client.
