Photographic memory comes to Windows, and is the biggest security setback in a decade.

Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

      No, neither is easy to use. The second you have to use a terminal or command line you have completely lost the vast majority of people.

        I agree, but are you then implying that the windows explorer file search is good? Have you ever used anything else?

          I didn’t say it was good, but it is easy to use compared to a terminal. It won’t help you find your file, but it’s somewhat intuitive to a novice user - you click around and open folders until you find something that looks like what you’re after. It’s not efficient, it’s downright tedious, but it’s at least easy to do.

          It’s all about the barrier to entry to novice users. Most users are novices, they’re the majority of the market so they’ll decide what the market leader is.

      With the tab-completion in Powershell, for someone who doesn’t know all the grep flags by heart, it might be easier to stumble through the options to find the ones you want without looking it up.
