Unlike many comments, I really like this. I think it unthinkable that businesses reduce employee's productivity by locking down their machine. In the days when Microsoft wasn't checking the security of applications, this was understandable. With a managed and secured store, this is security for the sake of security. If you believe you should disable something just for security without examing the value of the feature, why are you letting users access the internet?



Will Microsoft be sending people over to my office free of charge to handle technical issues with regard to their store? Can I send over any questions from auditors and federal regulators concerning user access to their store?


And you think it is Microsoft's place to enforce this?

That attitude is what causes multi-million dollar breaches. It's all right if your customers pay for it tho.


You'd be suprised how restricted some companies' web access is.
