Running Windows10 poses a great security threat for every user. If you check the telemetry data that's being sent to M$, you will understand why they don't have to ask money for it in order for you to get the OS. For what it's worth, I wouldn't be surprised at all if at some point it was revealed that there was a hidden miner service inside in order to mine for bitcoin in every PC...

Nah, it's too easy to monitor hardware usage so they can't hide using the CPU/GPU. But information is also very valuable, maybe even more so than botnet mining so they are collecting all kinds of data on users. Probably not just metadata.
