I’m in healthcare, and it would be such a huge HIPAA risk if this was rolled out to our users. I’m interested to see what the company will do with this new information. We’re Enterprise edition so I’d assume they have ultimate control over it being on our computers.
I can confirm that the west coast state governments are being extremely explicit about how, if this can’t be removed from LTSC/Enterprise, M$ will open themselves up for so many lawsuits that the sun will be blotted out.
Going by the phrasing I’d say educated guess. I for one agree, it sounds like a massive liability when you have e.g. data protection laws to think about
A Pro license is worth it just for Group Policy, which provides control over such things.
I’m currently able to buy Pro Win 11 licenses at a very expensive $7 LMAO
I used to say just pirate windows, but being cheaper than lunch meh. On top of that these licenses are just resold volume licenses so MS doesn’t even get the money directly from me so ehhhh
I’m sure for Windows Pro this isn’t accurate. There’s no way a business could legally permit this, it’s a massive risk.
It’s probably just with Windows Home, and I’m sure O&O Shutup already handles it.

Do you know this for a fact or are you speculating?

If the code is there it can be exploited, and that’s a big ol’ honking attack vector.

I don’t know any business that uses Windows 11.
You must not know a lot of businesses then. My company is on Win11 and most admin friends I’ve talked fo their company is on Win11
