Carradice: They went so far as to make any minimally conscious user to tame the system to the extent of their knowledge, by carefully managing the privacy settings, updates and whatnot. It is like the cookies advice: making you take the effort of rejecting them again and again, and exploiting those too lazy or unknowing to care.

The OS is supposed to be your ally and your tool, not your Stasi surveillance officer nor a squatter that uses your machine for his own purposes.
I'd say these should be some fundamental rules:
1. Software should not do what the user does not want it to.
2. Software should do as much as technically feasible of what the user wants it to.
2.1. If a piece of software is at one point capable of doing something properly*, that feature should not be removed in future updates or versions.
* = That means not counting features that were never properly implemented or were buggy or otherwise troublesome.

Win 10 fails at these in so many ways...
