Once again we see Microsoft forcing their concepts onto the users.
Yes, it's better security, but it should be up to the user to decide what level of security they want, not Microsoft. If people want lower security, they should be allowed to have it. The next step we can see Microsoft doing along this line is to have Internet Explorer NOT permit you to see a web site that doesn't have a valid SSL certificate, and thus force everyone to get a SSL certificate - even when they don't need one. My web site has no data that needs protection, so I have no security on it, and that's my choice and should always remain my choice.
