I see Windows Recall as AI-Training-Spyware, which has the capability to take screenshots of your screen.. While it is not supposed to be on by default, historically, Microsoft has had a bad history with honesty in the legal sense.
I am have been a Windows user since Windows 3.0, and I do not trust Microsoft not to train their AI from my work, even for what it is.
In the past, I’ve had using Linux on lesser machines, such as a banging around laptop and my TV computer, but this is changing.
On my main machines:
I have set them for independent drive dual booting.
I have Linux Mint for my main system.
I have software encrypted the Home partitions of the Linux drives to hide them from Microsoft.
I am also phasing out Dropbox, which I had used to swap info.
I really wish Microsoft could be trusted, but it cannot. I am angry because I have spend too much money on Windows-only software.
When I get the chance, I will be contacting the California District Attorney.
I check on it now and then.
I do like an open hardware market, which the AMD/Intel, and all the other vendors have provided.
However, when I bought Windows on my computers–Microsoft did not have appreciable spyware on it.
Microsoft putting Recall on Windows, and not activating–isn’t much different than a terrorist bringing a bomb on a airplane, and trusting them not to detonate it.
