Again, like the Start menu and Aero, it should be an informed choice, not blanket removal.

Mystere Power User VIP Member Power User Messages 1,925 Nov 14, 2012 #4 I think you need to rethink that position. It's fine that you think you can deal with any viruses or malware you get. But the average person would be angry if Microsoft knowingly included a feature they knew was being actively exploited.

Kat Banned Messages 142 Nov 14, 2012 #5 Fair enough, Mystere, but that's why I included the word 'informed' in my post. I'd be a bit narked too, if there was an issue and I wasn't told. If I DO have an issue, I won't be blaming anyone but myself.
