They've done so much to help online crime, why quit while they are behind.

Microsoft appears to now be encouraging users to run code directly from
webpages to fix PC problems.

Doesn't anyone there actually think beyond the 'oh, this looks cool'
stage? IT managers & support teams already have enough problems caused
by users simply clicking on anything they see, the last thing they
should be doing is encouraging that behaviour!
