Going to give this some thought. I don't think these changes capture the original intent of the Windows guides being added though, and omit some key details. This almost reads as if Windows is recommended, which I don't think is our goal.
I don't think it does that at all. I reworded some sentences to a more neutral tone which brings it more in line with the other content already on the site. The main thing people will care about is the guides that we actually provide (which are currently marked as "coming soon"). I also haven't really removed anything except for some of the repetitiveness, and mentions of "editions". I did remove the recommendation to stick with Windows 10, as this isn't helpful to anyone who buys a device shipped with Windows 11 OEM. Also in some cases Windows 11 has things which Windows 10 does not, for example DNS over HTTPS as part of the system resolver. |

This pull request has been mentioned on Privacy Guides. There might be relevant details there: |

Outdated
With Windows 11 there are a number of restrictions or defaults such as: | ||
|
||
Microsoft often abuses the automatic updates feature to add new functionality to your device that collects your data and is enabled by default. | ||
- Requiring the use of a Microsoft account instead of a local account. | ||
- Making it more difficult to find local account options for Windows **Pro** and **Enterprise**. | ||
- Enabling all data collection options by default, requiring users to "opt out". | ||
- Heavily integrating Microsoft services like Bing, OneDrive, and Teams in ways which are difficult to remove and presented as the only option to users. | ||
- Making the default browser always default to Edge, or switch back to Edge. | ||
- Adding cloud-based AI features to many areas in Windows and various Microsoft Apps. | ||
- Unnecessarily storing sensitive data. Even data which is stored locally and not sent to Microsoft is still a target for hackers or malware on your device. |

I think that the "dark patterns" term introduced in this PR can be integrated here, but I'll leave that choice to the author.

It was intended to be used there but, I reworded something and we didn't end up using it.
