Microsoft shutters Windows private folders
What the hell? This is a very cowardly thing of Microsoft to do. Its called an add-on for a reason. Those that want it can download it, those that don't won't. This is a very good and useful program being released by Microsoft. It has tremendous value on a home user PC. Got all that adult content you don't want the kids to see? encrypt it. Financial information? encrypt it. College students could make plenty of use of this as well. I'm not sure why the corporate customers are whining, their users shouldn't even have rights to install this. They are just crying because its Microsoft.
