Amazing, This requires re-thinking a lot of local security habits, like never ever actually having identifying information visible on screen in any form, never using email MFA with an account accessible on the same device, and probably more. It also requires, from the entire industry, modifying every password entry form there is, to NOT show the last letter you typed (unless Recall also captures what you type? That would be truly deadly, like "hey MS, thanks for the pre-installed AI powered keylogger with an easy API...")

Also, just imagine the implications for IT service firms. Try debugging a communication issue between, say, hospital systems, without accidentally having some patient data on screen.
Yay, automatic data exfil!

I have been thinking about switching back to Linux ever since my PC has started nagging me about not being Win-11 compatible ("hint: but next Ms surface model"). I guess this time has come now. But I will *still* have to learn and understand the security implications of this bull for using my work PC.
