IIRC, it was internal Microsoft file/mail.

E: INI file in the Canary channel.

It’s currently in win11 dev beta, it’s for tracking your game pass and/or MS 365 sub in the settings menu.

That indicated they were tracking subscriptions....

And everyone jumped to the conclusion that it was to Windows. Because that made a better story than Xbox, Office, or any of the other products Microsoft makes.

Turns out, it wasn't Windows after all.
