Gee, sorta like MacOS has had for years? What a great new concept, MS, behind the times as usual.

I have mixed feelings about it being opt-out for consumers (I guess that means "Home" editions) but opt-in for businesses (I guess that means "Pro" editions, or maybe if the computer is domain-joined).

I use the "Pro" edition at home (in a VM) although I don't have a domain at home. So I'm hoping it means "domain-joined". These days I only use Windows to run Windows-only applications, none of which require a live internet connection or exchange data with clouds, so my Windows VMs are pretty well isolated. We'll have to see how this plays out.
