I am a little nervous about this switch, but it is definitely a high quality machine with solid attention to detail.

Also, Windows 10 seems pretty solid.

I have a long way to go, but I am hoping that I can use the Thanksgiving break to get over the hump and be relatively productive when I get back to the office on Monday.

I am pretty committed to making the switch though. I am taking notes in case the transition is worth sharing later.



I am reluctantly thinking of jumping ship too. What is keeping me back is that, I remember, a little while after Windows 10 was released, there was a scandal because it sent users' data back to Microsoft, disregarding privacy settings. I haven't followed the story too much since, and could not find anything saying the issue was "fixed". Does anybody know how the story ended?


Unfortunately, the issue was never "fixed". Microsoft is still doing it. Some recent discussion here¹.

Yes. It still sends a lot of data back.

I was going to bookmark your blog in case you shared those notes, but it looks like jaxn.org is no longer.


Yeah, I ran for political office earlier this year and took my blog down. I will probably post to Medium.
