Wider release coming real soon – promise – after the Windows faithful give it a thrashing
Microsoft has cancelled the wide release of Recall – the controversial tool for Copilot+ PCs that takes regular snapshots of a machine to create a record of everything users do with their machines – and will instead make it available only to Windows Insiders for the foreseeable future.
Those decisions didn't end criticism of Recall, as Microsoft's obliviousness to privacy problems was not felt to reflect well on its culture.of Recall's reversion to opt-in brought news that the tool won't be delivered to all users of Copilot+ PCs as of June 18.
The first Copilot+ PCs to be announced, however, were powered by Qualcomm silicon – a major move for the chip design firm that dominates mobile devices but has struggled to crack the PC market.
