... genuinely, how can they possibly expect to regain or have any trust after turning W11 into a constant wiretap via Copilot, that spams ads all up in your OS in every place, and then also just handing over the bitlocker master keys to the FBI?
You would have to be very uninformed or delusional at this point to think that Windows and privacy/security exist in the same universe.
The only thing they have going for them is inertia.
And they're now hitting the point where backlash against them is snowballing much faster than they could possibly reverse course on their own internal inertia and actually make any real changes.
