The Register Kettle

So was it Microsoft Build or Built? A Total Recall nightmare

Episode Summary

Microsoft has held its annual Build developer conference but frankly it felt like Built - as in this is what we're bringing in and suck up up peons. Chief on the reader concern list was Redmond's Total Recall feature - taking a screenshot every few seconds for the AI engine (and anyone who hacks your machine) to note. Amazingly no one at Microsoft seems to have said in the planning meetings "Er, this could really backfire." And so it has.

Episode Notes

Joining us on this week's transatlantic Kettle is Richard Speed fromThe Register's UK team, and Tom Claburn - both of whom sat through endless Microsoft briefings so you didn't have to. You can get the full details in the video below.
