Microsoft starts final Windows Recall testing before rollout (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

Microsoft is gradually rolling out the AI-powered Windows Recall feature to Insiders in the Release Preview channel before making it generally available to all Windows users with Copilot+ PCs.

Recall is an opt-in Windows feature that screenshots active windows every few seconds, analyzes them, and allows Windows 11 users to search text within the snapshots using natural language.

As the Windows Insider Program Team said on Thursday, Recall can be paused whenever needed and will only allow access to the data it captures after authenticating via Windows Hello.

I don't really understand who this is even aimed at. Anyone who needs to keep records of their work to refer back to already uses some kind of record keeping system such as version control or ticket creation. When I'm doing that I don't need to keep a record of all of the ancillary actions I'm doing.

Web browsers have history, files can be reverted to previous versions in Windows already, as I said version control software exists (Github is even owned by Microsoft) and there is already software such as Shadow play.

Who exactly is going to be using Recall that doesn't already have a perfectly good, and actually dedicated, solution in place?
