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?

Yes. It still sends a lot of data back.

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

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.
