Likely delayed to attempt to make it less obviously disastrous from a privacy perspective.

There are very probably some companies that are salivating at the prospect of Recall - an employee spying feature built in to the O/S.

Guarantee there's already patents/plans for 'anonymized hashing and scraping' of Recall data.
Every little thing you do (and how you do it) is useful marketing data (at the minimum).

Thank God our governments aren't capable of something as nefarious as mass surveilance, right? Imagine XKeyscore with instant replay, straight out of Black Mirror.

Hence, "at the minimum".

Also, a lot of what's been 'allowed' in the commercial online service/IoT space, is used for surveillance, etc.
(Ring doorbells are an easy-to-find example of such.)

Why set up entire agencies/operations to spy and manipulate when, you can get companies to do it for you (on their customers' dime)?

kill recall name and restar as a new name, simple as that, THEY will push something like this once again, a matter of time

This is the first good news I have heard from Microsoft in a long time. What a nasty thing to put into the OS. I am sure they will slip a newer version in to the OS, with a different name in 6 months.

It would be nice if someone did a comparison of OS WIM image packages in old vs new ISO, perhaps that could reveal how to remove it when it's released again later.

Get off Windows for personal use and switch to Linux.
Steam deck was my wake up to just how easy it is and how Linux can meet all my personal use needs.

I let my Windows machines be the ones issued to me by work.
