Microsoft seems determined not to listen, it&amp;#x27;s astonishing.</text><parent_chain><item><author>datagrimx</author><text>For full Disclosure, I once upon was a software engineer at Microsoft.

* Ending all data&amp;#x2F;telemetry collection
* Not forcing Edge on its users
* Stop releasing improved UI updates every week
* Make bash, zsh, ... native for Windows
