My thought, exactly. I use a Win 10 on my recording studio rig but that machine's never connected to the internet. I use another machine to browse etc. I'd have no problem using Linux to do that. If this intrusive crap is implemented, I'm making the permanent switch.

I've test driven Linux several times and it's decent and reliable - and it comes in many flavors.

I probably 50 50 on using Windows and Linux day to day.

In light of this cut MS out as much as possible.

Above someone suggested using a dual boot version of Linux with your web browsing being done on Linux. That could work.
