Most of MS revenues are from F1000 corporate who's legal/security teams would never enable these features and MS would never force questionable features on them. They increased quarterly cloud revenue by $7B, even if only $1B of that is from OpenAI models in Copilot/Azure, they'll pay back their investment in OAI in 2.5 years
Author is just taking the opportunity make hot take on single terribly implemented product (or data gathering attempt), the big machine doesn't care
- bongodongobob 2y agoThis is the correct answer. I know you're not supposed to say this but... The HN community is completely out of touch in regards to MS and what they do to make money and how organizations leverage their producs. For most orgs, leaving M365 ecosystem isn't even remotely an option from any angle. You're not replacing Office with g suite or any of the open options, no one is going to roll their own LDAP solution etc. I just laugh at the comments on every MS article on this site. The business world world is bigger than HN users' 7 person startups.

Actually I think the feature will be enabled - companies have been spying on their users for ages. The thing is that the modern security is not about your stored features - you cannot login to laptops without passwords and a lot of devices even require cards (and flashdrives). Modern security is about networking (VPN and stuff) and social engineering - fishing and stuff. Malware, executables etc. are not thta much of threat anymore.
