Um, I am very skeptical that Microsoft's KPIs have this level of alignment with actual user workflows.
- p_ing 10mo agoOf course they do. It's all the telemetry that some people complain about.
- 12_throw_away 10mo agoI'm not denying the existence of intrusive telemetry, I'm saying their KPIs do not care whether they break your workflows?
- CamperBob2 10mo agoI wonder how much overlap there is between people who disable telemetry and people who use the right mouse button in Explorer.
- xethos 10mo agoWithout knowing exactly how far the common "debloat" Windows tools go, which every computer-toucher seems to recommend, I'd assume the overlap between "Users that disable, intentionally or otherwise, telemetry" and "Users that use 'Right-click -> More Options'" isn't quite a circle - but it is approaching one
- estimator7292 10mo agoYou really should assume that Microsoft knows exactly what you do on their machine.
- 12_throw_away 10mo agoWhere did I say they didn't?
- hulitu 10mo agoThey know _what_ you do. They don't know _why_ you do it.
