I was making the point really that although Microsoft can come up with all this wonderful funtionality they haven't thought through whether it is a good idea to have it or indeed how to ensure privacy and security relating to it.It's a bit like writing software which connects people to the internet but doesn't build in any functionality to prevent other internet users from accessing your machine against your wishes.
