Windows 11 will become a data syphoning ad-riddled spyware
Become?
Like, yeah, it’ll progressively get worse, but it’s already spyware and already has ads. Same goes for Windows 10.

Just saw in another post that Microsoft is pushing their copilot AI into Windows 2022 servers. Windows 11 will become a data syphoning ad-riddled spyware. And Microsoft office will send everything you type to some AI learning machine god knows where.
This will be a huge privacy concern for governments very soon and may force them to switch to Linux and libre office. Germany is not even the first one to do this. French police already use Ubuntu on their desktop computers.

I think it started with 8 and they patched it into 7 when 8 launched.

I work with government admins a lot and they’ve already told me the shit show they’ve been dealing with regarding feature updates somehow installing themselves on their devices despite it being disabled via GPO. Unfortunately, I think the government will just flex on Microsoft and force them to strip the shit out for their baseline Windows images rather than move to a Linux alternative.

My windows PC bricked its OS in the last month, it was definately caused by an upgrade. I strip my windows installs bare with a script so I assume it was looking for some telemetry service or something. Jokes on Windows, I was planning to switch the OS on that PC anyway. Annoying because it was bad timing.

Ya I’m pretty sure gov with E5 M365 tenants will just not have those features installed. Most govs have rules about data residency.
