[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 98186, post: 1029966"] Microsoft explicitly has stated numerous times that SAC is intended for home users - those home users that basically use an essentially 100% Microsoft system. Oh, SAC will allow some 3rd party software due to the numerous complaints about it blocking known-good programs and components, including Microsoft's own. Now Microsoft has made it so that people can set registry keys to turn SAC OFF\ON because it finally gave into the reality that home users are not going to abide having to do a clean install so they can use SAC. Heck, the vast majority of home users don't even know SAC is on their system. I don't use any shady software on my personal computers. They are all very familiar names such as VMWare, Bitwarden, Authy, etc but despite this, SAC always turns itself OFF on my systems. I already know that if SAC behaves that way on my tightly controlled system, then for millions upon millions of home users SAC is going to turn itself OFF. So not sure exactly what Microsoft is intending to do because right now SAC as a protection for the masses is an epic fail. SAC is not intended for "users who want to use stuff." Edit: I think the concept of unmanaged free-use digital systems and allowing users to do whatever they want on their systems is dinosaur ideology. [/QUOTE]
