This is really, really bad. It means on windows you can't count on any data privacy between the OS and your apps. I'm trying not to overreact but it sure seems like microsoft believes they have full ownership of everything you create while using their OS.

OK, the earlier link was not true. The problem, as Bruce points out, is that because we don't have any privacy regulations in the US, they could change the terms on a whim with no consequences.

I'm glad they failed to monetize their panopticon. I want to own something like this but there's no way in hell I'm letting amazon or google listen or watch everything I say and do. The best (but most unlikely) outcome of this failure would be if amazon opened the hardware and software and let us run our own local voice assistant nodes. I would buy two or three.
