Windows 11 test build contains unpopular feature

Software King of the World Microsoft seems to think that it is time to insist that its customers hand over their credit cards as part of a Windows 11 install.

Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22567 for the Dev Channel has several novel features, but one which will get most users’ Capra hircus is that Vole wants your credit card.

While demanding credit-card information within Windows isn't that startling, as many will have handed over their card as part of buying something in the Microsoft ecosystem either for buying apps or movies on the Microsoft Store app they are normally part of the Microsoft Account web page, which manages all of that online and behind the scenes.

What is clear is that Microsoft considers the additional credit-card info as part of the subscription option it added last month. Now, if your subscription risks falling through because of an expired credit card, Microsoft will alert you.
