Let me tell exactly what will happen.

• Step 1 - It’s opt-in. Everyone chill
• Step 2 - It’s opt-in but the opt-in button is advertised during startup
• Step 3 - “opting in in crucial for your safety and comfort” advertised everytime during startup
• Step 4 - it’s opt-out now but it can be turned off in settings
• Step 5 - it’s opt-out but the off button is hidden below 3 layers
• Step 6 - the opt-out button is gone but can be turned off with a registry edit
• Step 7 - sorry, it’s a core component of W11

We are currently at Step 1

This comment is taken from another lemmy post but I forgot the username. Apologies.

I mean even if it is not mandatory but automatically enabled once, odds are %80 of the users won’t even bother turning it off so win for windows in any case
