It’s a successful consumer product. Can’t have that under the Microsoft umbrella

Microsoft will punish Halo for each and every fan that failed to spend $2000 on mtx armor colors

Does that mean the AI thing will be unable to be uninstalled?

Probably. It will be an “essential” part of the OS, like Edge.

Which means it’ll probably be training on literally everything you do on the computer and reporting it all back to Microsoft

Just like Cortana, however, there will be a way to disable it via Group Policy somehow. That’s because government institutions that use Windows will not be happy with there being a feature in the OS that is capable of listening to a microphone and transmitting what it hears to a third party. I know Cortana can take voice commands, and I’d doubt their AI thingy will be much different in the user facing implementation.
