I wonder how companies will deal with this. Many won't want their employees to type in trade secrets into this thing, but if it's baked into the OS, can it still be permanently disabled?

There’s all sorts of OS features that can be disabled via group policy and related things, I’m sure this will be that.

That's right! And if there is no Group Policy that you can use to disable, than people will write a Powershell script for it to do so quick and dirty.

The widgets pane for instance was for some time only able to be disabled if you run Windows 11 Enterprise. Intune did not offer a policy for business OS versions. So quite quickly people just wrote a script in Powershell to do it themselves.
