Obligatory non-fanboy warning: I say this as someone who generally dislikes Microsoft’s contemporary software and avoids Windows on their personal computers.

It looks like users are prominently presented the option to disable Recall during the first launch.
"It looks like users are prominently presented the option to disable Recall" at this point in time.
ftfy, my friend.
Good news is that it takes Microsoft eons to update a user experience. So this will probably be the experience for the next decade.
Thank you lol. It’s disheartening to see people up in arms (majority of MS related posts in the past week) spreading vague misinfo about a disableable feature when they are putting ads in the OS.
Just, priorities, people 🤦♀️
The ads in the OS are disableable as well. They just aren't off by default, and are labeled something like "software suggestions" in the settings app.
valid information to know. i don’t think the ads can be turned off during the first boot setup process though, which is a key distinction here.
You're correct, you have to find the settings (not near my pc but I think they're in taskbar settings) after initial setup and you'll see their "suggestions" until you do.
Just because you can decline an offer of a shit sandwich doesn't mean it's cool for someone to go around telling people to eat shit sandwiches to begin with.
You gotta remember ~90% of windows users probably have no idea what it even is or if they should care about the privacy implications of it or not. It should be opt-in and not shoved in everyone's face.
