Other than them having some setting only for enterprise users, there’s another question - what has more weight, Microsoft or the law?

So, how will this work and comply with laws regarding its use in a medical institution?
What about its use in a company that has extremely valuable trade secrets that need to be kept that way?
What about the military?
Wouldn’t this make for an excellent target to harvest data for hackers?
I wonder if Win 11 LTSC will leave it out.

In America who knows. In Europe, it’s probably the law

If law forces them, Big IT will challenge it only to get a few years to mine data and get a few billions. Or outright violate it, because the penalty will be less worth.

Military would be fine, because they don’t tend to update very frequently, if at all. If it works, that’s the way it will stay, and the recent controversy wouldn’t exactly encourage them to do so.

Same way the LLM debacle has currently gone, where people will just throw sensitive information into it with abandon. At least one major tech company has penalised workers for doing that with ChatGPT.
If there’s a group policy to turn it off, maybe, but Microsoft might just not have one, or it’ll need to be disabled every update.

Honestly it’s still strange to me that the us dod doesn’t have their own in house operating system

The hard part in doing that is making it compatible with everything. It’s not useful if it can’t run everything.

Most importantly - is it watching my porn with me too and learning about that?

Microsoft will release a GPO or MEM setting that works 20 percent of the time to turn off the constant AI data mining, only available to enterprise SKUs.
