If Apple were to come out with this exact same feature, yet only before MSFT did, they would be trumpeted as an innovator yada yada yada.....

The blatant hypocrisy is maddening.

The anti-Microsoft whiners will view this as a security flaw.

Only if they leave holes in it so that hackers can take computers over without permission. THEN I will view it as a security flaw.

The anti-Microsoft whiners will view this as a security flaw. I view it as a God-send.
