Terrible idea. These are the kind of features that should be opt in, and Microsoft could have done that instead.It *is* an option.
Opt-in and opt-out are two models of having an option. Also I meant being opt-out for the network administrator regarding the availability of the _optout suffix. Instead it should have been opt-in by the use of some _share suffix.
Anyways, if you look on the first page of "Customize settings", yes there's an option for "Automatically connect to networks shared by my contacts" and it CAN be turned off, but it defaults to on.
That's an option for the users, not for the network administrator. As a network administrator (at home, at work, whatever) I have some trust for my users but not necessarily for the friends of my users. The decision should be up to the network administrator, not the user. The way it's implemented, user inaction makes him/her violate network usage policy. Best regards. Octavio.
