Microsoft explains how Windows 11 will become an agentic OS whether you like it or not
I believe that Microsoft is steering Windows 11 toward becoming an agentic operating system, intentionally or not. The way the system is designed seems to push users into increasingly controlling and monitored environments, limiting personal privacy and autonomy. This shift raises concerns about user freedom and the potential for the OS to influence or restrict user choices, making it feel less like a neutral platform and more like a managed agent working behind the scenes. Many users feel that these changes are not transparent and are pushed without clear consent, which could have long-term implications for personal privacy and digital independence. I want to understand if others see this trend and how they interpret Microsoft's direction with Windows 11, especially regarding user control and privacy issues.

Windows 11 incorporates features like telemetry data collection, cloud integration, and AI-powered suggestions. Critics argue these features can lead to increased surveillance and reduced transparency about what data is collected and how it's used.
