Wasn't windows 10 supposed to be the "last windows ever" ? Have been hearing about the subscription windows for 20+ years and it hasn't happened yet.

This is probably related to them getting in trouble for scanning networks while mapping. If I remember correctly they were doing a bit of port scanning and looking for share drives in an attempt to id which SSID was attached to which address. This is probably part of the wrist slap they got from FCC. "Oh well you can totally opt out now so it's ok"

Pros: At least its not JSONx :D

Cons: Not seeing any advantage over JSON. If you want a type for objects just add a type field and have your code read it. Then you can use any of the existing parsers.
