It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows.

A couple years ago it wasn't thoroughly and transparently sucking off every bit of personal data it could get, and gearing up to put adds on the desktop on top of that.
Except that the UK is also obstructing proper avenues to get them too.
Transgender patients facing a years-long wait for NHS gender care are being handed a "death sentence", says the mum of a trans woman who took her own life.
Data obtained by Newsnight and analysed by the BBC found it would take 10 years to clear the backlog of people waiting for first appointments in gender care.
Mind you that gender affirming treatment can be the difference between life and death for trans people. So, they can't rely on public services, and they can't take matters into their own hands. So, the idea here is "be rich or don't be trans"?
Always lovely when people pull the "it's a tiny percent of people so whatever happens to them doesn't matter". So are disabled people. So are people with rare illnesses.
But who do you think is even going after gender-affirming hormones in the first place? It's an unbearable risk for everyone else but whatever happens to trans people without it doesn't matter. Funny how that is...
...what part of the comparison you have issue with? That trans people are a marginalized group, or that what they are seeking is not nearly as harmful, yet authorities making an issue out of it regardless.
And here you are talking about homemade surgery when the topic of the day are pills and disability aids. All you have said in this thread is bait and switch.
It's definitely disingenuous. They are using their legal defense as marketing, "you guys don't get it, we are just sooo much more secure as a monopoly".
Hanlon's Razor shouldn't be used for business and politics because there are big incentives to be malicious and play dumb there.
They had a brand that was so powerful it was used as a verb, and he gave it up for the letter that is used as a generic placeholder, just because he's obssessed with it for whatever reason.
