I disagree that the headline is clickbaity. It's true. The agents run in the background and have access to your personal data.

I don't care how "auditable" an agent is, I don't want my personal information slurped up by AI and shipped out to microsoft's servers. Full stop.

This is just another spying data exfiltration but with a hype con built into it.

Just because I can see what it read and shipped off, doesn't mean I can undo that or claw it back.



This should be an installable application for those who want it, not part of the operating system.

This is exactly why I'm switching every one of my computers over to Linux, and I'm going to recommend others do the same.


Fair point. I didn't even consider that possibility. I get mildly surprised every time i find it's possible to set up Windows with a local user only.


Do it and don't look back.

The ecosystem over here is much greener anyway.
