They didn't spell "Center" correctly. I don't trust 'em.

Our second Work Trend Index report explores this idea by combining insights from three sources: trends behind how our customers use our tools; findings from a Harris Poll survey of over 2,000 remote workers in six countries; and conclusions from over 30 research projects from across Microsoft that seek to understand the experience for remote workers today via surveys, interviews, diary studies, focus groups, and studies of the human brain. Strange how so much can be fixed with just a healthy (or unhealthy) addition of Microsoft software

And no telemetry involved? I thought that's exactly the reason for it... to know about usage and user experience...
or are they lying to us about it?

LinkedIn has become the target of a lawsuit over allegations its iOS app reads the Universal Clipboard without informing the user, a claim that suggests LinkedIn is secretly infringing on the privacy of its users. But what if there was a job opportunity on your clipboard?

Lies! I don't think there's even one person that wants to use the Windows Store

Why not? What's wrong with the Windows Store?
I admit I haven't actually downloaded anything from there -- that I know of, and except for Windows Terminal -- it seems like there's potentially good stuff there.

I think you may have just proven my point (I've also only gone in there to get Terminal). 
Barely curated software dumping grounds are almost as helpful as just doing a Google search for something. And probably almost as likely to catch some malware (at least based on the stories coming out about the Google and Apple stores).

Well the truth is other than the initial few apps when I setup my phone, I don't go to Google Play Store either.
And if the apps I use on Windows were available in the Windows Store the same would be true there. So, in that regard, I don't really see a difference between Apple's AppStore, Goolge's Play Store, and Windows' Store.
If Microsoft were to require all installations to initiate from the Windows Store like Apple and Google do for iOS and Android, respectively, that might be a different story.
