I feel what we're all saying is that the security risks of amassing all this data are very unlikely to offset the small benefit of being able to remember something you did last week.
Given that the benefits are few, there's no better time to shout it down.
But long term, Recall is platform that MS will build on, offer more access to, synchronise, offer to 3rd parties. Imagine your insurance company demanding access, or potential employer?
It'll be a scary "new normal" when your computer OS records everything you do, as standard, and everyone else expects that to be the case.

Oh, I agree. It's the rational observation and conclusion. But this feature isn't for us.
It's for the average non-technical computer user, and ostensibly they do want this feature, the downsides be damned.

That is scary and not even something I had considered, since trying to criminalize E@EE gets all the press these days.
It's possible one day that all these computers from the last few decades may end up being very valuable given they are all unlocked and future ones may not be.
It's a keylogger -- the system IS the malware.
