Windows 10 is, as of July 2015, the newest iteration of Microsoft's desktop operating systems. The primary draw of Windows 10 over the much more reliable and less shit 7 is DirectX 12, which will make supported games better with stuff. Wangblows 10 also comes with Cortana, the meme-tier personal assistant and botnet waifu who is only fun for the first five minutes of use and effectively useless afterward.

to get rid of the shit

How to stop tracking

this may work, if Microsoft doesn't ignore the hosts file for their own shit (I wouldn't put it past them). try it anyway and report results. in your hosts file, add these lines:
0.0.0.0 vortex.data.microsoft.com
0.0.0.0 vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
0.0.0.0 telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com
0.0.0.0 telecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
0.0.0.0 oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
