[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 874803, member: 32260"] Ha, ha. That was not my intention. I have rather thought about something else. Must we drive 180 km/h because the car allows it, even if we know that driving 90 km/h is twice as safer? Many applications from Microsoft Store are better than desktop applications 10 years ago, and many of us loved the old one. So, it is not a problem for me to use the VLC media player from Microsoft Store, because I simply do not need more features. Also, the inexperienced users do not have such a problem if they do not start from the software full of convenient features (and usually unsafe). The problem is that human nature demands maximum convenience & usability in the first place. It is hard to step back even if this could increase safety.:unsure: Most users start from usability & convenience, and after infection do not like to change the software, but rather seek for additional security applications. This usually ends with overkill setup. [/QUOTE]
