Fucking hell I'm glad I switched to Linux for my desktop. If I could only convince the rest of my family.

OH MY GOD MICROSOFT, WHO FUCKING ASKED?!

Another reason on the pile - or more specifically an inflation of an existing reason - to not "upgrade". Thanks for making the choice even easier, Microscum

Anyone else have zero trust in windows?

This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default.

AI desktops sound like a privacy nightmare but right in the article they say, it's not the default. Every time MS adds another shitware feature there is lots of warning, like this, and there is time for concerned users to find work arounds or jump ship to a more sane OS. We need less clickbait titles and more "how do we work around it" because MS doens't care about users needs or concerns only increasing revenue.
