- Another silly default
- MS needs to address the fact that, by default, if you specify you wish to share a directory on a PC, it is open to 'Everybody'! Semi-knowledgable users find out they can share disk space, but don't have a clue how to secure it. This leaves folks open to viruses, and has the potential to be far more devastating than a few goofy advertisements. Shutting down administrative messaging by default is good, but there are even worse problems.
