I have read the most of the comments on this subject and I will have to agree on most of them. If we look at the bigger picture you will find that we really don't have real privacy. Big Brother is wathcing you !
Microsoft has an article that explains why they have secured the Outlook client so much that the typical end user cannot change it. Microsoft states they have to protect us from Virus attacks (ourselves).
I don't need to be protected by microsoft, thank you very much. Sounds a little like Irobot. At some place in time microsoft decided that we needed to be protected without asking us. Do we need big corporations and the government deciding that we can't take care of ourselves and we need someone to do it for us?
Like creating a task force to monitor cybercrimes and wardriving and whatever they come up with. Instead of educating people they will tell us what we can and can't do.
Wake up call --- take a look around you and begin seeing that little by little we are loosing our freedom to be like our forefathers intended us too.
