privacy

Still a non-starter for me. The fact Microsoft had the gall to implement the worst version of Timeline possible means the trust is severed completely. Co-Pilot being the first affront, given that one cannot even opt-out of its presence easily on Windows Home Edition or at all on Edge and Bing. Recall is absolutely the last straw for me, it's a privacy nightmare, malicious users with physical access can still do a lot of harm. An ethical hacker proved how much can be done with the feature installed. Microsoft needs to be reigned in before it gets far worse than this.

I installed Ubuntu, after doing some relearning and troubleshooting, I am happily using a Linux Distro again. If Linux distros can become better, removing a lot of the barriers to entry for average people, it would go a long way to slap Microsoft in the face. Making them feel nervous about losing a ton of market share due to their dangerous antics.
