I'm in Europe :p
I'm afraid this comment shows a severe underestimation of the gravity of the issue. Windows recall doesn't stop at borders even if it were illegal there.
Well, it's not here yet. And I do use windows 11, as does my mom, my grandparents and other pc's I'm the one helping with. I don't recall any recalls :p
And if they do push it here, it's probably followed by a news headline "eu fined Microsoft 10 billion for gdpr violation" or something like that
EU fines take way longer then that, give it a couple years of data collection and if we're lucky they get fined
Their warnings tend to be a bit quicker
who cares? try to prove anything
Europe has decent privacy laws, that's how I avoid it
