Microsoft's Productivity Score has put in a public appearance in Microsoft 365 and attracted the ire of privacy campaigners and activists.
The Register had already noted the vaguely creepy-sounding technology back in May. The goal of it is to use telemetry captured by the Windows behemoth to track the productivity of an organisation through metrics such as a corporate obsession with interminable meetings or just how collaborative employees are being.
The whole thing sounds vaguely disturbing in spite of Microsoft's insistence that it was for users' own good.
As more details have emerged, so have concerns over just how granular the level of data capture is.
