It is going to cause noticeable micro stutter when gaming, it is most certainly going to disrupt streaming in some fashion due to the copyright protections in place, and that's before the privacy infringements. But they'll probably use it as a selling point for commercial licenses: "Want to keep your information secret? With this $250 license, a PC on the network will be able to have this feature turned off!"
I'm not a fan of Linux for compatibility reasons, but I will remain hopeful that this sort of behavior Microsoft is performing will push people to continue to develop Linux tools.
Linux has better RAM handling than Windows too. Insane how bloated Windows has gotten.
As Windows started making harder and harder to install a new system without cloud account, it was already a turn of for many people. This kind of stuff is just over the top craziness.
I dont think the real concern atleast for me is the micro-performance issues, but rather the privacy concerns. Yeah, they claim its on your computer only, but then if there is an exploit that causes some random hacker to access this info, they will know everything there is to know about you.
As for Linux, its getting infiltrated as well - both by corporate open source developers and malicious in dependant developers alike. My Ubuntu wants to update itself more frequently than the Windows, but at least I can turn it off (for now at least). But its getting to the point that soon I will have to switch to a distro where everything is built locally from source so I have full control.
It's not gonna go over well for most people.

Ubuntu has a much better package manager
Ian Murdoch did not kill himself.
Are you talking about apt or the GUI front end?
Debian.
