Ironically it was the act of doing that: spinning up a VM to test a release on Windows, which really turned me against it forever. During installation, I counted 4 un-skippable EULAS about "sharing data" and then asked me what my ad preferences were. To add insult to injury once I finally did get it installed, the start menu was full of Xbox apps and the taskbar had some news headline about the Kardashians on it.
I don't know how people put up with it. It feels disrespectful.

I install the Enterprise/Education versions.
No. I’ll install Linux which doesn’t make me the product.
Good for you.
