Security first or revenue first?
One clue of depth of actual priorities will be how they bundle security features beyond just the Office/Exchange365 auditing they got in trouble for that allowed the State Department to detect Microsoft had been compromised (https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/04/micro...)
To pick one long-standing consumer OS security feature that Microsoft charges extra for today… when is Microsoft moving its full disk encryption (bitlocker) into every version of its OS for no extra charge?
Checking Bing Copilot LLM for examples of other such features is left as an exercise for the reader. My prompting skills weren’t as good as my wetware neural network on that score.
