I think a big part of the problem here is the perception of a big company trying to externalize costs onto their users.
The funny thing is, if you ignore the fact that it's a big company named Microsoft who's using your bandwidth and that it's enabled by default, this is actually a pretty awesome feature that could help a lot of people in a lot of situations.
Edit: Clarity
- opnitro 11y agoI think another big problem is that is without specific activation. If it asked me first, and I made the decision to help out, then it would be fine. When I torrent a linux iso, I'm making a specific action to use my bandwith. This is doing it without asking.
- pbreit 11y agoI'm still not clear on how it's an awesome feature. Saving bandwidth only on my own network would be fine. But the story says it happens outside of your network as well.
