    Microsoft has made a range of baffling decisions and awful mis-steps recently. You can trace everything back to insatiable desire for money.

      I thought it was for security :rolleyes: :-D

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        Security is Job #1. Making money by whatever means, of course, is Job #0.

Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst "I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

          "Despite the hype surrounding Microsoft's lead in this category, what's often less talked about is how much further ahead Microsoft would be if Satya Nadella and the team at Microsoft hadn't made a range of baffling, short-sighted decisions in previous years." I blame AAPL. No, truly, I do. Not that MSFT isn't blameless but it's relative moralistic bar lowering in the name of the buck and once AAPL dropped the bar to the center of the earth... It's "oh crap, we need to be a bit more evil or we'll be financially smoked in the charts". It's not just MSFT they collaterally damaged like this with their wanton greed.
