Anyway, as a software developer, I can say from my own experience that getting major privacy and security changes (with or withou brutal privacy critiques) is anytime good. From time to time I had to made updates to my own software because they were neccesary (whitout the mentioned critiques). Probably Microsoft forgot that the clients have to be pleased. The clients are far away of being the kings but they still have to be pleased by what they are purchasing. It's their money and it does not matter how much a Windows licence worths and how much money Microsoft have (the difference is quite big but people talk - if one man is not pleased he may change other people's thoughts). The client decides what he or she is doing with the money client has.
But for the moment that does not counts too much. If Microsoft lost contact with their clients and Microsoft employees think they are kings just because they are selling the most operating systems on the market the company may fall. Not today, probably not this year, but it may fall one time. The reasons are that Linux is an option and Linux is free. Probably we'll be arround and see that fall if it will happen, but for the moment you as Windows user should know that Microsoft announced major changes to a key feature of its new Copilot+ PCs. The Copilot changes include enhanced encryption and new ways to protect user data from unauthorized access.
