@arstechnica while I won't go back to Windows, off by default is not enough. The fact that it is even there and can be turned on is a major issue for me. It's like the sword of Damocles hanging over your head. What makes this even worse is managers using this to super micro manage people god forbid you spend 5 min here or there doing something else out of 8 hours in a day. Nope. Microsoft can F right off with this crap.
