Attached: 1 image So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster. How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system? What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this? #infosec #security #openai #microsoft #windowsserver #copilot

    That is fucked.

    I’m already starting to transition to full Linux on my devices with the arrival of Windows 11 and Windows 10 reaching end of life in October next year. I never thought I’d see the day of this happening.

    What the hell?!?!?! This is a server OS! It needs to be as light as possible and for the sake of server stability and security, admins carefully choose the installed apps. Microsoft can’t just install new applications on a whim.

    This is fuged up.

      People in this thread seem to be missing this point.

      This is windows server, not windows 11. The consequences is not “I’ll have an annoying taskbar icon on my home computer”, this is enterprise level interference that could affect large systems and thousands of users.

      Linux Mint isn’t an alternative to windows server.
