That didn't take long. You can now remove and block and the Windows 11 GDID completely. It just keeps you from logging into Microsoft services though on the comp itself. So if you don't want it and don't use say Microsoft Office there is a way now   But yeah use at your own discretion lol.

Adding some more.
I do think this is something too many people will jump onto, when the consequences are not yet known.
Certainly arguable just how much applications should require that to function, if they even should require it at all.
But I do think we are going to see it breaking things not known yet, and causing a whole lot of problems.
Just like people who rushed into debloating based purely on useless metrics.

Interesting.
Personally, I feel the meaning of it is going to be exaggerated for the vast majority of people, as the media likes to do.
There are a number of ways to track someone, many of which have little to nothing to do with Microsoft or Windows.
This was just a tool used to track someone otherwise very determined to cover their tracks for the wrong reasons.
