They shouldn't need to 'listen to customer feedback'. They should never have allowed this in the first place.

It's quite obvious there would be push back to this and it shouldn't require outrage to get them to turn around. You would hope there was a meeting somewhere that wasn't populated just by sales bods and marketing bods where someone would say "no this isn't right, it won't work" or "shall we consult with some of our users first to get feedback before announcing it".

This is the worry, ever since Windows 8 Microsoft seem to have driven a wedge between their thinking and that of their customers. Even their own security guidance and normal rationale is being ignored due to their new thinking.

To name two - Teams only able to be installed into the Program Data folder and, as well as the security risk, requires a separate copy of the program for every user. Forcing you to have really crappy games even in the Pro version of Windows with no Microsoft option to disable them permanently.
