   Have these people went fucking insane?

   >Microsoft is starting to test a system called File Recommendations in File Explorer, which does exactly what the name suggests -- when you visit the home tab,
   
   >it shows specific files that you may want to open at the top. It hides some undesirable files.
   
   >In a blog post, the company says the current version is only available to some Insiders in its Dev Channel who have installed the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23403 update and will only work if you're logged in with an Azure Active Directory account.
   
   >For those that do have it, it'll suggest cloud files that you own or that have been shared with you.
   
   >Microsoft says it plans to "monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing it out to everyone," so it seems as if it's aware that the feature could be controversial. Part of that may be just down to the fact that not everybody will want unexpected results in their file browser -- though based on the screenshot, you will be able to collapse the Recommended section.

     @coolboymew IT'S A FILE BROWSER, NOT A SEARCH ENGINE

     @hoamgriffon that's what I've been thinking and may help making people stupider in the end
     
     But I just can't see this being really useful

     @coolboymew @hoamgriffon All I see is IT engineers avoiding the very mention of a search bar.

     @moth_ball @hoamgriffon technically, the windows search bar can search files too

     Since windows 8 my friend. some will arguably say since vista, and I would also agree, xp was so small when it launched vista looked like a garbage can on fire, which coincidentally it has been like that since win8.

     @coolboymew @hoamgriffon Yeah, so why would anyone want MS to recommend their own stuff?

     @moth_ball @hoamgriffon you're supposed to generally know what's in there
     
     I can't see files recommendations being useful in most cases

     I'm glad to see Microshaft is just coming out and admitting now they scan your cloud files, parse them, their content, and do God knows what else with them.
