I dont think so, it has too many tehcncial issues, and even too many of their oatches have tehcnical issues and add new ones. You would need to change the whole policy behind it, and signficantly strip it of functionalities that it is several hundred percent overloaded with and that most people never use. You would need to win back the technical competence the MS patching department once had - and which they chased away, drove out, made to quit in huge numbers. Over one year ago I read that there according teams are not even half the size anykore of what they were two yearsd earlier - and this with even bigger tech issues, bigger in numbers and severity. All to please the investors, of course, to make the company financially fit. Severalof their best experienced people - key staff - are no more there.

Actually, Microsoft would need to understand that Windows primarily must be turned into an operation system again - not a profiling, measuring, scanning, surveilling, selling, advertising, technically inapt malware tool.

Seen this way, Linux is hopelessly superior and far, far more ergonomical in content. You would need to add maybe 25% of compatability and functionality to make Linux an ideal OS for the private household user - whereas you would need to cut away maybe 75% of the overboarding content of Windows 10 to make it that.

And even then the fact remains that Microsoft falls under US legislation and I take it for granted that it is used as a tool for US foreign policy: priming foreign IT infrastructures with backdoors and making them prone for US intel activites and business spionage.

We should do like China and forbid companies, public services and ministries to use Windows 10 unaltered. We should also abandon American servers. China allows only a Chinese-surveilled altered and modified version of W10 for which Microsoft even had to accept to open their long kept secret of the internal core code to be surveilled by Chinese experts - and heavily altering it. Only this altered version then can be sold any longer in China. Clever move. It gags own consumers, and protects the IT networks from spionage via Windows backdoors. Of course the US focusses media attention on the first, and hides the latter.
