First time in my life, I got to stop through the Kennedy Space Center on our way home from Florida. Its been a dream of mine to see a rocket launch from there and unfortunately I don’t have the time available to go down and see Artemis 2 launch in person as our vacation was last week… but I DID get to see her standing proud on the platform!

One day I’ll get to see it fly in person… one day 😊

I’d go as far as to say it’s similar to a landlord requiring a key to access the apartment your renting from them. Sure, they probably won’t abuse that power, most don’t, but the doesn’t mean they can’t.

The bigger picture to me is it’s pretty clear then internally, Microsoft views you as a “tenant” of THEIR OS. Not a purchaser. This is why they use the words “This PC” in replace of “My PC”.

Yes, I think we can absolutely say that companies are pushing for consumers to use the cloud instead of their own hardware, but in this context, I’d say it’s more egregious showing their mindset that you’re just renting their software from them.

inb4 they name System32 to Copilot so you can’t delete it.
