Going from Windows to Linux then back to windows sucks.

    I started unplugging the Ethernet cable when I leave for work so IT can’t do any behind the scenes when I’m away.

    It’s not your computer, why do you care?

    All that’s going to do is make you an annoyance and potentially end up with you being called into a special meeting.

      Your work computer likely contains personally identifiable information. Microsoft very likely has a significant profile on what you do at work and could conceivably link that to your other identities outside of work.

      Are they actually doing that? It’s hard to say. Microsoft does have relationships with data brokers like Snowflake Inc. and SCUBA plus its own internal capabilities like Xandr Inc.

      Cross pollination is more than possible when employees use personsal devices to login to work accounts. Most of the people that I work with login to Slack on their personal device using Microsoft Entra SSO.
