I just find it amusing that the reason Microsoft can't win in this situation is because of their past history of developing less than secure products.

They've trained users to expect everything to be super easy and requiring minimal effort. Now they're trying to reverse course and all of their "well trained" users are flipping out because they might actually have to put a little more thought into things rather than have Microsoft think for them.

If they had just put in the time and effort into developing secure products to begin with, they wouldn't have all these lazy people complaining about not being able to do things the "easy" way anymore.

I do applaud them for biting the bullet and fixing this issue despite the backlash, but I don’t feel bad for them because they brought this on themselves.
