How were they supposed to test any of it, without releasing it to testers? Recall is an “Insider Preview” feature, it’s nowhere close to a final feature.

From my understanding recall stored the screenshots it took unencrypted. Atleast encrypt the bloody data before releasing it to anyone outside of ms

  It doesn’t store screenshots, it stores text it gets via OCR from the screenshots in a SQLite database. Still one of the worst ideas these idiots ever had.

    “Insider Preview” features are proof of concept stuff, they can add encryption before the “Public Preview” version.

Doing some internal security testing for a start. QA should always have a couple passes too.

  “Insider Preview”
  
  internal security testing
  
  Precisely my point.
  
  If people don’t want to be part of the internal testing, or part of the QA testing, then they shouldn’t be running “Insider” or “Preview” stuff.

    Insiders are not MS employees, though. That is also not the same as trained QA or security. You or I can join the insiders program. It is essentially public beta

    More like alpha. Public beta are the normal (non-Insider) “Preview” versions… then they use a staged update deployment for QA.
    
    And yes, MS is saving a lot of money on trained employees by using paying customers as testers.
