Let's see if some data protection officials have the balls to sue companies that use that on their work machines.
It should be obvious that this technology and some "AI"-based analysis makes for a nifty "productivity assessment" of your white-collar employees.
I'll be sticking with Windows 10 then...

The most important thing, right here. Don't trick people into using something as invasive as this.
MS should be cautious.
They also push customers to the cloud.
Browser apps don't care about the OS on which the browser is running on.
Hey look at that it turns out their forcing it down our throats again even though we said we didn't want it.
To paraphrase the IRA "[consumers] have to get lucky every time, M$ only has to get lucky once."
Are we about to have the year of the Linux desktop?
Microsoft needs to be threatened with being broken up if they don’t open-source Windows.

None of this really surprises me.
Even back to the Vista days, I always knew that once computers (and networking) get better and faster that we will end up with a bloated Operating System, doing things I don't not want it to do. Of course, nobody really gives a p00p because we all agreed to the End User Licence Agreement.
Here we are, now, with Windows 11. Where people are sticking to Windows 10 and, some, are willing to move over to Linux if/when they have to!
This is why I have always been a HUGE supporter of software freedom. Sure, some things may not be the "modern" way of doing things but at least it gives me FAR BETTER control over my computer than the p00p I see in the land of Windows.
I am not perfect and I dont always practice what I preach. I can be just as hypicritical as the next person. I have a laptop running Windows (upgraded to 11 over a year ago) only to be used for my current job. I handed by resgination today.. and I can assure you.. when that job is finally over I am replacing it with Debian!
Other than this one instance of using Windows, my other machines have all been Debian for many, many years!
I hated getting back onto Windows (10) when I purchased that laptop. The amount of p00p is an absolute joke!
I really hope we see a big spike in GNU/Linux in the coming years!
