- fzfaa 4y agoI didn't know anybody saw MOTW as a positive. I hate it and I don't see what problem it solves.
- judge2020 4y agoReally? When it’s not you but a tech illiterate computer ‘newbie’, you don’t see any benefit to a popup warning them that “programs downloaded from the internet could be dangerous”?
- josefx 4y agoDidn't we go through this with Vista? The average tech illiterate user only ends up trained to ignore and continue. You might as well drop a few hundred knives labeled "warning sharp" in the middle of a playground.
- josephcsible 4y agoIt's reasonable to have guessed that there'd be a benefit before it was implemented, but now that we actually have such a popup, it's clear that there's not, because the newbies all ignore its warning and run the malware anyway.
