I think you may have a few mis-conceptions about windows 10...

1) no privacy... not really. Windows (like several other OS' and applications) will, by default, send data to the cloud for processing and collect telemetry data about the user. I really wish they had made it easier to opt out of (and indeed not made the privacy invasive stuff the default) but I wouldn't say that equates to "no privacy". Also with a bit of effort you can turn that stuff off.

2) People calling it malware... well that's a subjective description, not sure I see the basis for it.

3) Ugly flat UI.. Again that's a matter of taste I guess. Personally I quite like Windows 10's new look

4) Nope the windows 8 full start screen is gone in 10 in desktop mode.

Which is it?

well some not great privacy settings is not the same as "no privacy" therefore I would suggest those statements are not contradictory.
