To be fair I think they mentioned a button to temporarily disable the spying. Either for a time or blacklist an entire application.

Still highly recommended people move away from windows.

Right, but the problem is users should be able to use the feature and be confident it's secure. It most assuredly is not as multiple people with access to the pilot program have demonstrated.

I bet some lower level folks within MS knew this would be an issue and screamed into the void about it.
