Yeah, lots of telemetry. However, my experience is it's easier to locate 
and disable than it was in Win10, which also had it. And Win11 is less 
likely to turn it all back on with the next update.

They would, but all can be disabled.

The point isn't so much snooping as accustoming everyone to everything 
being in the cloud and by subscription. That, IMO, is what TPM and 
Bitlocker are really about -- now that we have near-universal broadband, 
Microsoft's old wet dream of Windows by Subscription is becoming 
practical. Enterprise business welcomes this, because it offloads a huge 
amount of liability and expense. They are Microsoft's real customers. 
Home users are not customers, we are a support cost..

The problem with embedded AI is that it has to consult the cloud to 
generate its responses. Naturally that also generates data, similar to 
that from using Google (which tracks you like nothing else).
