Looks like it’ll pretty restrictive and not allow tool updates dynamically - not great for remote MCP servers

“All MCP client-server interactions are routed through a trusted Windows proxy, enabling centralized enforcement of policies and consent.”

“Mandatory code signing”

Sigh. I supposed this is necessary for enterprises, but I’m not thrilled with the idea of Microsoft establishing a standard here. Hope we get an open source alternative.

How many years did it take to 7zip & RAR support?

They need to reverse course on this immediately, along with removing all the other LLM-based technologies. No mentions of "AI" should appear anywhere in the OS.

According to the article, Microsoft will be able to read all of your prompts. For many Enterprise situations, having remote "AIs" having access to internal data is a security and data access violation and could lead to a mandatory disclosure (ie, HIPAA, GLBA, etc), and must install Windows with a group policy to hard disable the Copilot service from even existing, and now Microsoft wants to also require you to issue mandatory disclosures for non-remote "AIs" just because they slipped something new in quietly and, whoops, now it exfiltrated data to a remote server?

What the flying fuck, Microsoft? Your biggest customers are Enterprises! Stop attacking your customers!
