I'll never install a legit copy of Windows anymore. For personal use I am using trusted enough modified versions that limit bloat and connections to Microsoft services. And I probably use those once a month.

Look, Windows is proprietary, you can't fork it. Modified versions are not legally possible, if MS themselves don't provide it. So much to your "trusted source". Deskmodders is as trustful as you can get in Windows hacks.
