Do they really think we believe any of their lies? We don't control Windows, anti-libre software (it fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL). Dangerous! 🚩

I suspect Group Policy will be fully effective at disabling this, and there's a documented way to prevent it being installed and to remove it.

Imagine a massive corporation built on Risk Management, legal constructs and regulation, such as Wells Fargo, Capital One, CSC, Bank of America, etc, suing the pants off MS because this caused a leak of something, especially some data that's strictly regulated.

MS wouldn't stand a chance. Those places have ruthless legal organizations that know their world inside and out.
