Doesn't effect me. I've been pure Linux for a while now. I also doubt that the average user will leave Windows. They'll just suck it up and give away their privacy for convenience, just like they always have.

Going into the registry to disable it as soon as I see it, just like I did with copilot.
Good. That will push more people to abandon Windows.
Sure, the like maybe 2% of users who actually pay attention to stuff like this and haven't already left. Much more it's just gonna steal people's data. Not good.
Microsoft has been stealing people's data right and left for years. Nothing new. If you're only concerned about Microsoft violating your privacy now, you're not that concerned about privacy.
