Hey, if it means I don’t have to pick between five ways to package the same app I may call it a wash.
Of course Windows already has two of those and one sucks.
I’m really torn on this one because I don’t necessarily want every app to have to keep a service or do a launch check for updates every time, I’d rather have a single update manager. That’s better. But I don’t want Windows to know everything I have installed and whether or not it’s updated and to pester me with updates of zombie apps I haven’t used in years. That’s worse.
I guess it comes down to implementation. So knowing MS’s track record I am not holding my breath here.
Oh, I’m hoping it’s not reliable. GDPR fines are fun and the EU needs funding somehow.
I assume everything big companies tell you a thing is doing is being done, because big companies have big legal departments and compliance departments and would rather write a new EULA than pay billions of dollars.
It doesn’t mean that some billionaire CEO asshole won’t occassionally flaunt the rules, but I hate the paranoid default that makes people sound like hyperpartisan conspiracy theorists. Big corpos do enough crap out in the open to be mad about, you don’t need to make up new crap to be madder about.
Yes but probably minus the good aspects.

They already know everything you have installed. They have an option to “disable” telemetry but who knows how reliable that is.
