Microsoft shutters Windows private folders
About a week and half ago I wrote about Microsoft Private Folder 1.0. Well it seems people got skittish about MS not fully supporting the product and other security issues and has pulled the plug on it.
"Private Folder 1.0 was designed as a benefit for customers running genuine Windows," Microsoft said in a statement to CNET News.com on Friday. "However, we received feedback about concerns around manageability, data recovery and encryption, and based on that feedback, we are removing the application today. This change will take effect shortly."
Bye bye private folder.
