        I’m in healthcare, and it would be such a huge HIPAA risk if this was rolled out to our users. I’m interested to see what the company will do with this new information. We’re Enterprise edition so I’d assume they have ultimate control over it being on our computers.

        I can confirm that the west coast state governments are being extremely explicit about how, if this can’t be removed from LTSC/Enterprise, M$ will open themselves up for so many lawsuits that the sun will be blotted out.

        will be replaced with Linux

        Maybe one day if Microsoft didn’t back down but in the interim they would simply put a hard block on updating.

        But what actually end up happening is they would just be pressured to upgrade to Enterprise where you are permitted to have more control over windows.

      Going by the phrasing I’d say educated guess. I for one agree, it sounds like a massive liability when you have e.g. data protection laws to think about
