The behavior and terms of windows 10 matter.

A lot can change in 1200 days. I see nothing irrational in waiting to 
see what develops during that time, and exerting my vote with my feet 
and wallet by rejecting the current behavior and terms.

Windows becomes less and less of a necessity every day, and I consider 
it practically a social duty to help that along.

Run Never10 and add to the statistical pressure to influence MS's 
behavior, and that of all 3rd party software & hardware developers too.

In 1200 days literally anything could happen. Windows 8 was the brave 
new world that only those stupid Luddites resisted out of their fear of 
change and hatred of progress. Now where is it? 2 different things 
happened. 1; Windows changed again and 10 isn't as awful as 8 (at least 
in certain ui aspects). 2; 3rd parties created add-ons and hacks to 
address things MS refused to. In 1200 days a lot of both of those, or 
anything else, can happen again. Even if they don't, there is no benefit 
in signalling acceptance of something you don't want, by accepting it, 
any sooner than absolutely necessary. In the entire history of the 
world, nothing ever got better by quietly accepting things the way they are.
