Sad to see that Microsoft needed outside feedback instead of figuring out the outcome on their own before they shipped. Am I to seriously believe no decision-maker saw this coming? I think they threw it out there to see if they could get away with it, and if not, well mea culpa all around. It's either that, or some program managers over there are awfully naive.

It's always going to take an outsider to show someone who designed a feature with good intentions how it can be used by people with nefarious ones.
