Windows Security Through Annoyances?

Posted by timothy on from the must-have-started-as-a-joke dept.

techmuse writes "According to News.com, Microsoft's next version of Windows will let you know that you are looking at (supposedly) secure data by putting personalized text, such as the names of your dogs (a null list in my case), in window borders, and will also hide the data unless the window has no others on top of it. That should make it very usable, and speed adoption of security features -- especially among people who need to be able to see the data in two partially overlapping windows at once."

    Windows ____________ through Annoyances~

    Yep, that will work, considering just about everything Microsoft does is annoying.

    Make a form of your post, you can reuse it for any story. Come to think of it, I've seen too much of your all time favorites. You suck.
