&gt;I expect to own my operating system in the same way that a tenant owns the interior of building. The landlord cannot walk into the home uninvited. The landlord cannot install cameras or listening devices in the home.<p>Yeah, and I want a unicorn that farts rainbows.<p>If you continue to use Windows, you&#x27;re going to get all kinds of uninvited stuff you don&#x27;t want.  The question is, what are you going to do about it?  Sit around a whine?<p>Personally, I love this stuff, and I hope MS makes it so people can&#x27;t disable it, and even requires that all Windows PCs must be connected to the internet at all times to phone home, or else they stop working.
