      Microsoft is talking control over its ecosystem. Will it police your os for piracy? Look at what you do so it can sell you products? The use case is infinite once they have the data

      People keep years worth of browser history, until finding something in there becomes harder than searching the web. I see no use for that either, but everyone I’ve asked insisted they need it. They couldn’t really spell out why either

        the idea is good, but the reality is it gives anyone the ability to search everything you’ve ever looked at. If the data exists it can be exploited. for ill or profit
