If anything major comes out of this, is probably EVEN MORE prompts and popups asking for permission to use your data. even with GDPR, data collection and sales never stopped, it just made things more annoying by transforming every webpage into a granular term of service to continue doing the same.

It isn't even turned off by default. Many sites just give you an "i accept" button or even if you want to manage the preferences, the "accept all choices" button is where the "confirm my choices" should be.

Bigger companies will just append this to their TOS and push it down the customer's throat. That if MS doesn't settle out of court and the case gets thrown together with any major oppositon to the data mining
