"Can't anyone make an honest mistake?

"Of course . . . but this was intentional, and Microsoft has still not learned their lesson: Do not enable Internet servers to be running, by default, in consumer computers. The last time Microsoft did this, the server was called 'File and Printer Sharing'. The insecurity of that decision has caused untold customer damage through the years and it still causes serious problems."
