Recall, Microsoft told us, would act like a photographic memory.

Sounds kind of useful, but concerns were raised about how Recall was doing this.

It was taking a screenshot of your screen every few seconds, and then saving that screenshot.

This was a welcome move, though it was no doubt highly embarrassing as well.

It also showed that some of the concerns raised by people over Recall werent initially considered by Microsoft.

Recall will only work on the unit it has stored the screenshots on.

And I cant remember the last time I lost a file.

Crucially, the solutions Recall offers just arent good enough to justify using such an intrusive feature.

Ironically, I think that would be best for a feature that nobody can remember asking for.
