      The amount of times that windows “features” come back after I disable them via GPO on Windows 10 Entrerprise tells me that this isn’t true.

      The irony that setting up Windows now requires more command line use than Linux in 2024.

      • If you’re using Enterprise on a personal machine, you’ve messed something up. There are other ways beyond Group Policy in that environment that are probably causing what you’re seeing. SCCM, Intune, Policies over the network vs local… that significantly raises the chances of something else stepping on your local Group Policies.

        I’ve not had that problem on either of my Win 10 Pro machines when using Group Policy to disable things, over the last four years.

      • Until they lobby to get laws changed, many companies have legal requirements regarding PII that mean serious fines if CoPilot or Recall ever turn on in their environment (and if they’re caught of course).

        Windows is not going to fuck this up and force this on, handing easy legal wins against them to the world. They will have the normal configuration options available that they always do for features with potential legal liability attached.

        • Did you miss the recent security blunder with Government security and Microsoft? They didn’t want to tell governments of a secuirty hole in case it meant lowers sales.

    • yah, i have linux on all my devices save one and ive found ways to get win11 to just work without the bullshit.

      it just takes about as much effort to learn systemd syntax because everything became the systemd singularity.
