Microsoft installs Desktop Search, without you knowing

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Now really Microsoft?
I thought my PC was my PC, not yours. Surely I have a say in what gets installed on it?

Oh, wait, thats not what you seem to think?

So now every PC running Windows with Automatic Updates, is going to end up installing Windows Desktop Search. Then its going to start indexing. Everything.
Every drive (local and network) is going to be scanned, file by file.

Thats going to slow down the user's PC, and possibly put a very large load on their fileservers.

Nice!
