Once they do deploy it, I'll immediately disable it. And not even (primarily) because it's invasive and intrusive but because it'll be mostly useless to me AND it'll further clog my still-occasionally-laggy 4B cycle/sec PC with more unnecessary background tasks while sucking battery life and storage space for little benefit.
I resent that they continue to invest significant resources in buzzy new features like this (which no user asked for) to drive conceptual agendas decreed by MSFT leadership while continuing to ignore fixing the core Windows feature in this area: Search. The Windows built-in search function has always been so slow and limited it's nearly useless. It's so bad MSFT should be embarrassed. Meanwhile, the free Everything add-on shows exactly how it should be done - delivering global file search that's blisteringly fast, flexible and deeply capable. And it's written by one guy in his spare time (https://www.voidtools.com/ https://www.voidtools.com/).
Note: I assume above that MSFT will be forced to offer a way for enterprise IT departments to disable this via Policy Manager (because NSA and others with sensitive intel or IP will balk without a way to disable it).
