Good find. The fact that this is a KB article seems to confirm what a huge violation of customer trust this is - they know this violates the principle of least surprise.

#13TextEdit used to auto save things to iCloud on Mavericks for me. No one made a big deal out of that.

#14Like Adobe streaming their Photoshop software from their servers, Like Google is trying to push Chrome OS so that you DO NOT need hard drives. Big boys in market, sooner or later, will move all software and hardware power to their side leaving you with a screen, mouse and keyboard to interact with everything. As soon as companies do not have control over whatever you are doing, they are losing benefit on it. Get read…
As long as there are computer parts and open source software, you can still opt out if you want to.

While I agree that I definitely see this trend, this does not mean that this trend will end up winning. We have seen lots of horrible trends like this one and almost none of them survived.

#16For continuity to work, it should be obvious that what you are working on must be stored somewhere other than the machine you have turned off. The obvious place is on iCloud. Just do not enable continuity if you do not want to enjoy is features.

#18Last I looked, iCloud was not HIPAA¹-compliant. Health-care workers who previously could have iCloud enabled, as long as they did not use it for HIPAA-covered documents, may be in for a big and expensive surprise.

Except that this does not violate the principle of least surprise at all.
I expect that files I edit are saved at some point, somewhere, iCloud makes perfect sense in that it allows me to pick up where I left off on any device. Not only that, but Mavericks had the same behaviour for unsaved files as far as I remember.

Mavericks had the same behaviour as Yosemite iirc, except it was less obvious.
