    The fans will lap it up and all those Apple YouTubers will gush about how Apple’s new invention is the best invention ever. Apple has the advantage of owning a cult.

      I disagree, I think Apple will do this feature with privacy/security in mind which Microsoft didn’t do.

      I absolutely don’t like Apple but I think it’s undeniable that they try to keep their OS secure. It’s still a golden prison but at least it takes privacy fairly seriously.

      Microsoft didn’t seem to think about the challenges of that feature and it looks like a draft from an intern after a 1 hour meeting.

      Obviously, something that scan a user screen has some implications that are hard to miss.

      So yeah it’s easy to point at people and say they are fanboys. But in this case the fanboys would be probably right in the sense that Apple already did better than Microsoft when it comes to privacy.

      At the end of the day both are businesses that you shouldn’t trust with your data but I would trust a lot more Apple than Microsoft for doing this right.
