> It's incredible how much Microsoft is resting on their laurels in terms of seeing Windows as insurmountable and so consumers must take whatever Microsoft decide to dish out.
Well no, they actually believe people want this. Microsoft strongly believe in "Data Driven Everything". Of course here in Europe we look very different at this due to privacy concerns. But trying to explain that to the MS consultants I work with is difficult. They're very much part of the cult of telemetry on everything and AI as the cherry on top.
They view deep analysis and reporting as their added value. Like those stupid office insight emails that tell you you didn't have enough speaking time in meetings or that you need to use @mention in teams more. They actually think companies and employees value that shit.
I've challenged them on this several times saying if they think people love it so much, why do you make it so hard to turn off? But they think it's just a matter of 'adoption' and users will love it once they get to know it. Their 'adoption' strategy is mainly marketing evangelisation crap that we're supposed to send out to the users.
I find it very weird to see how so many people can be so out of touch with reality. But I guess in the US they look at privacy very differently.
I also find it funny (in a sad way) how Microsoft pushes telemetry so hard. Yet they have the buggiest most unusable software. All that data clearly isn't making their products better.
People want Microsoft Word but that can be uninstalled. In fact they generally make you pay for it. If people wanted Recall, Microsoft would be making people buy it, not trying to force people to have it.
