You can disable these “features” on enterprise but you need to dig around in the settings and google how to do it.

That's good. It's an ordeal to disable them on Pro, and the once-good guide I found[1] is usually out of date (or some of its settings get overridden) with every major update.

No, it's really not.

I could have been more clear. That was directed at the first clause:

> You can disable these “features” on enterprise

Or are you saying that it's not good that they can be disabled (perhaps because people get lazy, run out-of-date vulnerable software, and end up infected with ransomware or part of a botnet?)

My guess would be that their point is: It's not good that those things are in Windows at all, and it's even worse that you have to dig around to disable them. I'd certainly agree there.
