You might think it's silly. Microsoft thinks it has massively cut down on malware installation. One of these is an aesthetic judgment. The other is a security judgment.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThese judgements are orthogonal, one doesn't preclude the other.
- chowells 7y agoThat's very viewpoint-centric. If your viewpoint is that of a power user who thinks everyone else should be one too, then it'd be fair to say they're orthogonal. If your viewpoint is that of a product manager trying to give the most people the best experience you can, they're not orthogonal at all. You're trading a bit of scorn from a very small percentage of users for a larger number of very different users keeping their computers secure. Reducing the number of compromised windows installations is not silly at all.
