@@MicrosoftExpertZoneUKI Last time I checked, Microsoft doesn't give away anything (to its customers) for free. If I'm not paying for something Microsoft product or service using currency, I'm paying for it some other way. "If the service is free then YOU are the product."
With information stored locally and locked behind 2FA, no data will be stored on a database 😄 And, if it's still not for you - you can just turn off that feature!
Which is absolutely okay, each to their own 😄 Not every PC feature is wanted or needed by every single user, but having the choice is what makes it an individual experience!
My worry is that Windows might start doing this without permission at some point. Perhaps turning the feature on will actually just make that database of information viewable by the individual user themselves. I'm guessing any computer being used by a member of the public in any authoritarian regime (including a Trump-led USA) will be doing something like this, and uploading the data directly to the security police, now that the capability is out there.
@@rumi9005 Oh, there will be "permission". It will be something like, "By using Microsoft Windows, or any Microsoft product, you automatically agree to X, Y, and Z. If you prefer to not be a part of X, Y, and Z, you must cease using Microsoft products immediately." It will be buried deep in some terms of service that you will never read.
The most unwanted feature ever! All the promises of "only stored localy" and "Optional feature" and "Absolutely safe through 2FA" does not help either. Recalling, what Edward Snowden said ("If you can activate it, so they can...!") and all the experiences, where Microsoft is stopping the user to manage their own PC and any Updates, and force the User their own way (let alone how difficult it became to setup a Windows machine with out a Microsoft Account and only using local accounts says all) Microsoft has lost my trust completely. Too many times in my Life I experienced the situation, that something was absolutely optional and volunteerly, then a few years later, it became mandatory or the only way to do something. They give a sh#t on what the user wants and go their own way and since personal data is the IT-Goldmine nowadays, I give no credit to all the promises and empty words. Thank you, but no thank you!!!

Very easy and definitive pass. The intrusion isn't worth convenience, I'm sure Microsoft is not using this data for AI training or marketing. Get out of here.
Unfortunately we don't have an exact date yet, it is currently being tested via the Windows Insider Programme and once this is complete it will become more widely available through a post-launch Windows Update 😄 You can keep an eye out here for more information: aka.ms/copilotpluspcs
