Microsoft’s Recall AI feature won’t be available for Windows testers until October

Time to leave Windows already. It's been a broken mess for so long. Literally decades. One of my first jobs when I was a teenager in the 2000s was fixing electronics, often Windows computers. It was a broken mess back then too.

The alternatives are good. Desktop Linux works pretty well out of the box last time I used a Linux laptop as my daily driver. If specific software you need isn't supported there's undoubtedly an open source alternative, or a web app. Most browsers let you "install" web apps now too. I used the full MS Office suite for years as installed web apps.

Macs are expensive up front but they last forever and are rock solid with security and stability. I never have to fuss with mine, and there's almost definitely a Mac version of whatever specific software you need on Windows.

Everything runs some form of UNIX now. Stop wasting time with Microsoft's ancient 25 year old NT kernel and the broken (and now spyware) OS they built on top of it.

Is there any reason except spying of for baking this software into the OS? Why are they pushing so hard with this?!
Can't we just have it not available? At all?
I don't think people want a bunch of screenshots getting stolen.
