#2This isn't a win for anyone. Windows 11 should ask consent before installing any AI feature on user's computers.

#3Microsoft forgot that what it provided was an Operating System, a platform, something from what the user build their workflows. Now they seem to trow everything but the kitchen sink

#5In reality Microsoft woke up and realized that they were rapidly sliding down the slippery slope towards the sloppy ground of a minimum user install situation and so they are trying to dig in their fingernails to arrest the slide. I predict that they will change their stance after stabilizing their position and advancing a little further back up the user install curve so that they silently move users towards a full data sharing arrangement again hoping to abscond with as much marketable user data as possible before the new terms leak and they find themselves again slip-sliding down towards an install minimum that they should've floundered in years ago.

Software companies don't understand consent!

#8If this is like any other of Microsoft's attempts to get you to turn on something that you clearly do not want, it will pop up a wizard every few weeks saying "please confirm your choices" and will have a weasel-worded message saying "Increase your PC's security intelligence by enabling AI-powered data validation" with two buttons: "Protect My PC" and "Ask me later".
I have a couple Windows boxes for rarely-used Windows-only software and loathe trying to navigate the monthly "Are you REALLY sure you don't want to link your iPhone to this PC? And, are you SUPER DUPER sure that Microsoft Edge shouldn't be your default browser? What about backing up all your files to OneDrive? You sure???" prompts

#9So now the poor people forced into using Windows 11 will get constant prompts for each file and new files as they are created ? Looks like maybe at the directory level, a little better, but will be fun for developers :(
M/S should allow people to disable AI globally, but that will never happen. Plus how do we know if saying "no" really means "no" ?
