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.

On the other hand, this makes it much easier for a corporation to spy on its employees, so I think at least some of them are in favor of this.

If employees are using the corporate's computers, they can already see everything the employees do, they don't need this new window feature to do it

That is by no means necessarily the case. For example, if a notebook is taken into the field and is not on the LAN.

Windows has some kind of built-in VPN feature that auto starts and will otherwise not give you any network access. Add on top of that some corporate firewall and you basically can't sneeze around your laptop without IT knowing.
