Seems that for Microsoft there weren't enough reasons already to avoid W11 at all cost...

Redmond said Recall will be an opt-in feature that "will roll out gradually," so you may have to wait for it to be offered to your PC.

It seems like you can avoid the feature by opting out, at least for now.

It's said to be enabled by default only on "AI-ready" stuff, but IMO it's matter of time to be then enabled by default on everything and possibly then nag all the time to re-enable it. Even if it will remain disabled by default, it's still unacceptable there's some terrific backdoor sitting in your system, waiting for malware (if we can't call system itself already a malware) to be exploited by.
