#Microsoft 
bundles #genAI tools with #Windows11 - whether the user wants it or not.
This includes #MicrosoftCopilot and the controversial Recall tool.
Why controversial?
#WindowsRecall records all activity on your computer, including messages sent to you. This is why the chat app #Signal has to work around Recall -- to protect your and your contacts' privacy from the #Windows OS!

Microsoft is rolling out its controversial Recall feature to Windows users with Copilot+ PCs. However, there are still many privacy and security concerns that remain, even after its reworking.

Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it

Microsoft's Recall tool begins rolling out to supported Copilot+ PCs (with 40+ TOPS NPUs). It's now an opt-in feature so you can ignore it. Other updates include contextual Windows search and Click to Do. #Windows #CopilotPlus #WindowsRecall #Microsoft #AI https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2025/04/25/copilot-pcs-are-the-most-performant-windows-pcs-ever-built-now-with-more-ai-features-that-empower-you-every-day/
Windows users collectively sigh as 'Recall' makes a triumphant return—because who doesn't love reliving their worst computing nightmares? Meanwhile, Ars Technica's content still resembles a tangled mess of techy word-salad

If you want things private, you should... probably be careful about using the Signal app on, say, a machine with auto-screenshot capabilities built right in, too.

How do people feel about Windows #Recall when they realise how many computers and devices run Windows?
Just consider every sphere: Banks, Doctors, Hospitals, medical devices, lawyers, Insurance, Representatives, Government.
Everywhere you look, screens captured every few seconds and stored, and we all know the reason. This will be used to train AI and send that data back to anyone who will pay for it. And #AI models do reveal the data they trained on.
If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft's Windows Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.
What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

Fun fact: I've talked to my mother, who is currently still on #Windows10, about #Windows11 and #WindowsRecall and she was like "nah, I don't want that". Then I said "well basically everything you're doing is in the browser anyway, I could set up your machine with #Linux …"
and she was like
"yeah, why not?"
Folks, #Recall is making my mom, a non-techie who is a year from retirement, migrate to Linux!
This is awesome.
"Whaddyamean, you could remove the built-in spyware?
No no no, that's a bug, the removal option was not supposed to be available, let's fix that…"

I do pity the general population who has to be subjected to that sort of built-in data collection, and all the security and privacy problems it entails. Too bad #Linux is not even a blip on the public consciousness & cultural upbringing.
Just out of curiousity, for those who switched from Windows to Linux (either from Microsoft Recall or from CrowdStrike), who has stayed with Linux or who has moved back to Linux? And regardless of your decision, why? (if you feel comfortable sharing!)
