I don't understand why people have such a big privacy issue with this. It all happens on your device.
I understand being concerned about Microsoft using it to target ads or moving it off device in the future But the four scenarios laid out in the article don't seem like a problem.
> You're using a public computer
> You're using a work computer
> You're using a shared family computer without a password protected profile
> Your computer gets stolen
You shouldn't expect privacy on public or work computers. For all you know, they could already be doing this.
Ditto for a PC where you share an account with other people.
And if your laptop is stolen and they have your passwords, you're fucked anyways.
