Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is finally ready for testing, and I’ve been using it on my Surface Laptop 7 since the preview became available last week. My first impressions so far are surprisingly positive, given the many privacy and security concerns, along with delays that the feature originally had.
I’ve always been a believer in the Recall concept — that is, an app or service built into an operating system (OS) that essentially triages everything you do on your computer and makes it super easy to revisit at a later point. Recall is essentially a safety net, backing up everything you see and do in case it gets deleted or misplaced down the line.
