  As I rely on some deeper Windows features (like Storage Spaces), I'd be very wary of running a giant script instead of targeting features I dislike (such as OneDrive sync). Last I saw it breaks features like the Windows Store app.

    The whole thing is open source (MIT license) and based largely on community contributions. It did break the Windows Store originally, but that was fixed a long time ago. If you have any issues with it let me know - we work on it pretty much constantly.
