The criminal complaint missing in this article: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndil/media/1450651/dl

Basically, Microsoft logs things from windows users, including and not limiting to, the machine GDID, IPs that come with the GDID, and when and what exact URLs accessed. So for windows users, privacy, an important part of information security, is totally destroyed by these logs enforced on windows. Another important part of information security is bug fixing, and microsoft did make at least one security researcher angry [1].

And a simple solution to that problem is moving to linux. You save yourself a lot of time and energy for leaving the adversarial information security condition imposed by windows and microsoft.

P.S. You may consider debloating windows for a more information security friendly environment. However, that is nearly impossible, as long as you realize that windows is an OS composed of thousands of closed source softwares, and doing security audits on all of these will be costly.
