It doesn't cost the user any extra to include such a feature in the next version of Windows, and in all the Critical Updates downloaded starting tomorrow. [Obviously it costs MS something to do the software development.]

It does if you provide free support. You get millions of people calling asking how to disable the annoying feature that they got when they updated the computer. In addition they will tell other people not to upgrade because it gets more annoying to use email and the earlier way was more convinient.

You missed my point earlier.
