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.

I cant believe they are including this in enterprise edition too.

They usually keep their dirty spyware out of the enterprise editions to avoid losing corporate clients who dont want their secrets easily pluckable.

Maybe in the future it can be used by managers to keep an eye on what their underlings are doing at all times. I suggest calling the manager's remote version Microsoft Panopticon.
