    I think they want firstly smooth integration with OneDrive. Then with Copilot, and finally it’s Recall.

      So basically locking you inside their walled prison, right? (It stopped being a garden since a long time ago.) Windows is still their main product; and it’s harder to change the OS if you need things deeply integrated with it.

      and finally it’s Recall

      I hope so. No, seriously, I hope that Windows and Recall become intrinsically intertwined, to the point that you can’t use one without the other. The year that this happens will be the year of the Linux desktop! [NB: I’m being a bit cheeky.]
