Yeah the ones who went that path now can be super happy about it. We have the best desktop in the world.
Let's assume for a moment that all OS are going to go this way.
Of all the modern well used OS, microsoft is the one I'd trust the least to do it.
I think the worst two things about this are the impact on the environment and the data collection. If you've ever used chatgpt, have you ever asked it to divulge what it knows about you? 🫠
What? Nobody wants it? Let’s rush it out to users then. — Microsoft
Maybe stick to AM4 and processors for now that don't have AI feature? I have AM4, it works perfect and I haven't had to upgrade yet. I think there would be a way to disable all of the AI, like with app OOSU10 or tron. Second option would be to install Linux OS and use Wine for any Windows app and for anything buggy that wouldn't work well, using a vm for it.
Speaking of, there's VPNs or you could use PIHole to block Microsoft's telemetry and AI ips.

“more pervasive”?
Must have been auto corrected from “more invasive”.
MCP?
They're calling it the MCP?
Did they do that on purpose, or are they really so small, soft, uncultured, and tone deaf at Microsoft? It's... Probably the latter, isn't it...

There must be some unaccounted for survivorship bias in the data for the MS to get it this wrong. Not even about agenda just PR they are operating on bad assumptions which is just bad for business.
