There is a crude version of such a button but it might no be what you want: the No Microsoft button. It behaves just like its siblings, the No Google, No Apple and all the other No ${undesirable_company} buttons. As long as you allow any of those companies access to your data they will be used for whatever purposes they consider beneficial to their competitiveness and/or bottom lines. Should this be found it it generally was a 'mistake' which will be 'rectified' and the dance continues. The only way to win this game is to refuse playing it, How a bout a nice game of chess?

No Microsoft button

The world runs on Windows. Oftentimes, outdated iterations of windows even.

I think it's safe to say that it is impossible to exist in the world today without interacting with a Microsoft product as part of daily life - far more so than with Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung, etc.
