The verdict is in: Windows Recall is great, actually

[Windows Central]

I’ve been using Recall since the preview became available last week, and my impressions so far are surprisingly positive, given the many privacy and security concerns, along with delays that the feature originally had.

I made an account just for this.

Hah.

Hahhahhahahahahahahahhahaahh.

No, no. Absolutely not. God no. No. Nooooope. Not in a million years no. Its cool that they did their best and delayed it to try and fix it but the security problems were so unbelievably absurd (not to mention just downright comical) that even after it got fixed its reputation (alongside MS's in general; at least what's left of it) got so utterly blown out of the water that a non-insignificant amount of people switched to Linux.

There are no words to describe how poorly they managed this and quite frankly the only reason they didn't just bury it and pretended it never happened like their stupid metro apps is because some AI tech bro high on his farts already forced his team to waste wacky amounts of time and money that would otherwise go to waste at this point.

It could cure cancer and stop world hunger at this point and people would still avoid it like the plague. I'm sorry. Its reputation is ruined.

"Setting up Recall is a bit of a pain, requiring multiple large downloads via Windows Update before the app becomes functional."

Good. It SHOULD BE a separate app. Users SHOULD have to jump thru hoops to get this thing working. It should NOT have been announced as "Built into Windows and running by default."

MS should be stressing this point now. Recall is NOT built in. It is NOT running by default. This is what scared so many people away from Windows and made MS a laughingstock of the tech world.

I'm anxious to try it out but glad its an option
