It seems like this is more for third-party agents users install that will need to request access to permissions in order to have that functionality.
I’d say I think it’s dumb, will never use it, and would also prefer it not exist, but I’m not going to lose sleep over functionality that users have to go out of their way to turn on…
But that’s just the slippery slope argument that will inevitably precede apps everywhere making AI access to your data mandatory to work. Just like when phone permissions became granular and now a recipes app refuses to work if you don’t give it access to your contacts.
In my day job I do corporate IT support and I must admit, the fully domain-integrated systems, deployed and maintained using SCCM, configured using GPOs and working with the M365 suite client-side and server-side using Azure, it is actually quite reliable and can be configured to not have any of the bullshit private end-users have to deal with. (Not only the AI crap and the spyware, but also 95% of all default configuration.)
I still wouldn’t touch Windows with a 10ft pole on my personal systems at home.
It will “allow” apps? Those “apps” are an integral part of the operating system without a way for users to turn it off constantly and reliably.

“user”
Using windows is an oxymoron. It’s not designed nor possible to be actually used. Its only purpose is to scam, spy and generate revenue.
