    Well, that's enough reason for me to leave it deleted.

    As some of us are IT staff for a business, it is an issue for concern. Per the next line in the article:
    I have deleted it, it was not an accident, and until they give me a good reason for why they want us to have it I have to question why. So far all I have seen are the reasons to not have it.

    It is like a single piece of trash in the neat place. It does not even start with a capital letter, my OCD can not handle it. MS should have put it in System folder, not in the plain sight.
