These days it's easy to license Windows, but hard to stop telemetry.

Microsoft actually charge you for the software you use, how can they maintain the illusion that you're exchanging your data for access to the service?!

$50 per year, minimum. That's how much data collection costs you. In reality, it's far more, as that number makes various assumptions and does not include the value of the data Google, Facebook and Microsoft collect and keep to themselves - >$50 is just what's traded openly on the market.

Microsoft charge $99 per year for Office, one of the main tools they use to collect user data.

As an aside, I really miss Lynx the Office Assistant.
