Note that this is about the Insider Preview version. It will be interesting to see if it remains in the public release, and for even more programs in the future (with the end goal of only allowing programs from the Microsoft Store).
Shuck. But of course, it isn't extraordinary to limit users of an early Beta. If that is what it is.
Don't know what to do. I'm not that fond of Linux either. And I don't want to leave all my lovely programs. Last I ran Linux it wasn't the same to run Windows programs in that environment.

I suppose it will be installed by default in the future, maybe also enabled by default? Then maybe you can disable it, until Windows re-enables it again by accident.

Alas it doesn't say if you can avoid installing it in the first place, or if you're "allowed" to delete it.
Anyway, assuming they are just trying to be helpful, wouldn't such a database of snapshots become giganormous?
Adobe is also doing it.

And here in Sweden some are pushing surveillance cameras with face recognition - just to be used to fight organized crime, of course. We are very close to that chip under the skin now.
