Windows 10 privacy settings and .Net as a viable technology platform from licencing and technology point of view are two different things, though.<p>&quot;The different Microsoft&quot; aspect comes from open sourcing the key technological components so migration away from Microsoft licenses is at least a legally plausible, and that people can indeed see what goes into the sausage.<p>From developers point of view this is a huge improvement and makes the .Net a much more appealing proposition.<p>Is a company evil? Does it make good products? To me, at least, it&#x27;s not very helpful to mix these two discussions.
