Well, I have exactly the opposite plans, I will leave it on unless I come to a situation where I need to turn it off. I am not quite sure how much safer in practice the new system will be, but it does put an additional layer of protection between critical files and applications that believe they

Both of you speak very nicely from the perspective of one who knows what they are doing, and are not afraid of the system. I dated a person awhile ago who, any time a window opened on the screen, would panic and click ok or yes to make the box go away. She kept getting viruses, spyware, and oth

Yeah, that’s perfectly reasonable. Of course I want people to benefit from a feature if it can; like I said, I probably won’t have cause to turn it off myself, even. And yes the process for doing so, while it could theoretically be socially engineered, is probably safe against accidents, given

I’m torn on this. On one hand I’m glad that companies are taking security more seriously and are taking steps. On the other hand, you make a great point do we need our hands held? My gut says this could get overbearing and way to restrictive but then I see posts from people who probably don’t

System Integrity Protection will in theory not be a problem for you, if you don’t happen to need to step on its toes. The biggest issue I see is that the bless command-line tool will no longer function, which is a real meh, since System Preferences often doesn’t show the Windows partition. Oth
