"Yes, this is Dave from Windows Microsoft Tech Support. Yes ma'am, I'm sorry, but your computer is sending viruses to our server and this is causing a problem for us. If we do not clean the viruses from your computer, we will need to disconnect you from the internet to protect our server. But do not worry, we can fix this for you. First, I am needing you to go into settings and turn on the Windows Recall. Yes, this will help to protect your computer from the virus. Ok. Good. Hopefully this will fix the problem, but if it continues I will have to call back. Next week, I will call you back and if your computer continues to be sending these viruses, I will connect to it remotely and we will do a deeper scan for the virus. Yes, have a good day ma'am. Thank you for using Windows Microsoft."

The convenience just isn’t worth the risk
the headline is just jumbled.. should read:
Microsoft Windows is more Secure, Recall now can be removed
Shouldn't that be
Microsoft Windows is now 100% secure after Total Recall of all copie
?
I want it to be not there by default.
The people who want it can download it.
Fucking ding dongs overthere should have never let this happen in the first place.
Too little, too late!
Does it still accomplish its core functionality?
