Like clockwork; wait till the outrage dies down, try again in a few months.
every single time.
they always come back to try again.

I mean, I don’t think they ever said “you’re all right, we’ll never do anything like this again and retire the entire idea”.
They said they were reassessing the security concerns. Which they did, and are trying again with slightly different methodology.
I’m not telling you to like the feature idea, but you’re acting as if Microsoft is trying to hoodwink people in this specific case, when they are actually just doing what they said they were going to do.
I wonder why they’re so insistent to add it if all the data stays on device?
Surely they would never add even more telemetry that reports back nearly all of your important online activity to Microsoft.
Right?
Because it actually seems useful for a lot of people? I’d actually want to run this, but I don’t use Windows.
At least they seem to have addressed some of the security implications:
The database will be encrypted at rest and will require authentication (and periodic reauthentication)
The feature will also be off by default
But of course, nothing on the front of whether or not Microsoft will collect data on you using it. We can trust them there, I’m sure.

Guess we’ll see whether that outrage was rational or just, well, outrage.
All shall be sacrificed on the altar of shareholder value
that’ll coincide with the date of uninstalling Windows off my last PC!
