  This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default.

  Until Microsoft decides to turn it on without your consent or knowledge at some point.

    Nonono, they hid it in the middle of a ten page EULA. Didn’t you read the entire document before you agreed?! Who agrees to things they don’t read?

  If sufficiently advanced malware can break out of a VM, then it’s only a matter of time before an AI breaks out of a measly container 🍿

  Good, windows 11 update gave me a boot device error 2 days ago, was on the fence whether repairing or going back to Linux. Happy they made the choice for me.
