   Is anyone doing outreach to public libraries to mitigate Microsoft's latest spyware shenanigans? This could be disastrous to the privacy and security of folks who rely on library computers for access to their online presence.

     @qurlyjoe Are you just supposing you can walk into a library and reinstall all their systems? 🤦 Even if this were the answer (it's not, that'll get popped and be running 3rd party keyloggers the second it's plugged into a network), the point is that you need a relationship between knowledgeable advocates and the people responsible for making decisions to protect patrons.

     The last version I used was 7. (XP was my fave.) Is it not possible to just not install this?
