But people know they will soon, considering Windows is the most popular OS and they have been forcing everyone as hard as they can to always update to the next and newest version.
The link is also interesting but it only happened after the whole world screamed at them about the privacy and security issues of the feature.
I'm definitely saving it though, because it also includes a way to not have to keep seeing the stupid re set up your system screen after every Windows update. Didn't think I'd run into that in your link, but I couod use that information lol.
What? I thought you were talking about the security and privacy issues, but now I'm not sure what you're arguing against. Even your link admits that the changes for improved security only happened after all the security official in the world said how that feature was asking for trouble from a privacy and security standpoint. It was doing what stuff all along? Improved security features? Definitely not. Your screen shots don't mention any of the stuff in your link, such as the dedicated VPN stored locally, with encryption and keys and PIN, etc.
