About this tag
The tag 'server side flights' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about staged, server-side rollouts of experimental features in Windows 11. In the context of Microsoft's Windows AI Labs program, users have reported encountering opt-in prompts for AI features in apps like Paint, but signup often fails because the backend service is not yet fully active. This indicates a controlled, server-side flighting approach where features are gradually enabled for select users rather than being publicly launched. The tag focuses on the technical and user-experience aspects of such phased rollouts, including telemetry collection and consent mechanisms.
