Microsoft does so much so well these days. But this Microsoft Recall product is like watching a grown man carefully placing his hand in a door jamb and then repeatedly slamming the door on it. Obviously stupid from conception.

If you’re wondering how the Microsoft Recall scandal is going, I’ve just had a client tell me they’ve replaced their order for 10k Microsoft Surfaces with new MacBook Airs, at nearly twice the cost, and that we need to start the ongoing 6 month endpoint security project over.

@Cmastication In the short term, I’m grateful that, in spite of how much $ I shelled out to build a top-of-line home build, my desktop specs won’t technically qualify it for the feature.

In the medium to long term, I need to figure out a migration plan.

@Cmastication @SecurityWriter I figure Apple wouldn't build a product like Recall because their entire business is built on consumer trust, whereas Microsoft sells to enterprises and it's actually very appealing to be able to spy on employees

@kellogh @SecurityWriter the corporate lawyers in those companies know it’s not worth the trade off. Any time a company gets in a law suit everyone’s Recall history gets subpoenaed. Not a good situation.

@Cmastication @SecurityWriter I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this - it feels like they are completely blinded by the sunk costs of building out the models and haven't given any thought to whether this is something people or businesses want (why would any org allow a legal discovery / privacy nightmare like this in their estate?)

@karlstanley @SecurityWriter our fav reinsurer had a crack down on *checks notes* recording meetings, because of the legal discovery potential burden.
