Microsoft offers these services as a commercial enterprise to nationals of and in other countries, separate jurisdictions from the US.
The laws of the land where they are doing business is rather relevant, this 'business' was not in the US.
It would surprise me if their local representative isn't going to be charged for this breach of confidentiality.
Malware coming in is a concious decision when going with certain platforms.;)
But to come back on earth, why would your bank/ mail provider/ Facebook have a higher risk than the corporate versions?
Secrets going out doesn't need to happen during working hours.
Places that have a standard policy forbidding data carriers like SD cards or USB sticks are a different domain, I sincerely hope they'll have set up their network equally tight, like air-gapped.
And you missed the discussion about Volkswagen (and now BMW), they had reason to block access to corporate mail for certain non-working hours.
Besides, a lot of these things are not 'leisure time', they are a recognised and essential part of a person living or even surviving in the 21st. century.
Just as much as they (the company) expects you to check your mail before bedtime you can check your kids/ wife's/ mistress's mail in company time, nothing unusual.
You have a contract for a job (task), you under-perform you get called in, nothing unusual.
You do your job, the boss should (will) stay off your back.
We Europeans see a distinct difference between what's the companies policy and what's an individual's action.
Yes I know, the concept of individual is/has disappeared from US corporate law.
See, if you're on a Company Facebook, Twitter, you name it, account you speak for the company, once you are on your personal account you might be the same prick but it's on your name.
Pretty easy to distinguish I would say.
Logging and tracing of IP's is only an issue in places like wikipedia where corporate/ political shills are frowned upon.
I agree most of Europe is behind the voters = normal employees.
But the company I work for is Anglo-Saxon and that's a whole different kettle of bad fish...
Indeed they have a front page telling you it's their network and they reserve the right (any right) to protect it.
The proxy servers are in the UK and US, although both governments luve to gather anything and either don't have a constitution or no privacy legislation they do serve employees in other more enlightened EU countries.
One day they'll find out they are overstepping both common decency and laws.
At least in The Netherlands the Works Counsel is on it and has been able to rectify some of the grossest breaches of privacy like a top banner with a public list (log) of any and all sites visited by any individual employee, at least including the management.
In hindsight it would have been quite interesting to see who or management is interested in now there's rumour of a billion-Euro take-over:)
I live in a country where net neutrality is written in law.
An ISP can offer VOIP/SIP telephone as a separate service and legally 'reserve' bandwidth for this service.
There's no conflict with the neutrality rule, you get what you pay for.
What they can't do is allow one SIP/VOIP provider faster access than another competing one.

I'm reading it through a UK account just fine.
That's not to deny your Dave Camoron has installed a mighty fine firewall to keep you all safe...

When at home in The Netherlands all stores accept debit, when on holidays in Denmark the same.
Yes these are First World countries but the trend is unstoppable, cash is now the minority means of money transfer.
At the same time this means people carry less cash and need and want to top up wherever they are.
And I work in the energy industry...

And yet, according to your other postings you're quite a nutcase...

How long would they survive?

Especially in the United Kingdom and also in the rest of (developed) Europe executives can and will go to jail for wrongdoings on their watch.
There's a Preview and then an Edit button, just like the ol' ways :)...
As you observed the mechanical parts are fine, it's the electronics that need time to stabilise and transfer the picture.

Thanks for the update, now that fix so we can actually return to an earlier post and engage in.....discussion!
The extra options offered make a nice addition to reasonably priced hardware.
Sorry but Wallstreet doesn't know him.
Maybe they'll be OK with the stamp DRM'ed.

The typical solution would have been to x-ray him.
But I do see a connection between Apple marketeers and their faithful.
Because that's how Apple sells it to their public?
Ah, fun :)
such as the poor speling or grammars of the postes that your are replying to
Was that on purpose?
Are you on the receiving end of spelling trolls? :)
