   branded “Copilot+.” Recall is designed to capture screen shots every   
   so often (apparently measured in seconds), then allow you to scroll   
   through that history so you can more easily remember what you were   
   doing — and thus what you were thinking. Not unreasonable, right? I   
   often stop and think, “Hang on; what was that site I saw after I last   
   did a search?”   
      
   Of course, browser history helps, but it can be imprecise. It might   
   miss the exact page I was trying to recall.   
      
   Or perhaps you want to see that Registry key you swore you set, but   
   you now can’t remember where it was. In our home or office, how often   
   do we stop and go back to where we started — just to remember what we   
   got up to do in the first place?   
      
   So the idea is laudable. A third-party vendor for Apple has had a   
   similar product, Rewind, for several years. Its intent was to slurp up   
   your interactions on your computer and make that history searchable.   
   As you interact with your computer, the software reminds you about   
   tasks that you forgot to complete. It’s like an electronic version of   
   sticky notes.   
      
   So why did this kind of feature cause such a furor over on the   
   Microsoft side of things, yet generate nary a peep in the Apple   
   environment, even after several years?   
      
   Trust. Or, rather, our lack of trust in Microsoft.
