Officedocs-deployoffice: We've not forgotten. MSFT *will* be reported for criminal behavior.
Just making sure you are aware that just because some of the buzz has died down here, if just one of my hundreds of users has any extension installed without my express permission, and if any search engine preferences are changed in any non-Office application, I will report the incident as a criminal breach to the FBI. Your EULA won't save you here.
Please understand I'm not some whack-job Linux nut, nor some MSFT-hating troll. I am a seasoned security professional with decades of experience, and I will see to it that high-level law enforcement is involved. I will also seek legislative remedies for protection from future abuses by ensuring multiple contacts in Congress are made aware of your actions. And in all transparency, even if you rescind this insane "feature," I'll be doing that anyway. You can shrug it off, or discount my statements, but either way, consider this "fair warning."

@ItzLevvie, rather than hiding behind downvotes and trolling responses from your CUSTOMERS, how about provide some actual justification for your decisions? How about taking a few moments in an attempt to educate the customer as to the benefits and features of this forced illegal, anti-trust malware "feature?" Surely even you can see that your recursive "thumbs-down" is the equivalent of you posting "I'm an immature MSFT employee who can't articulate the benefits of a feature that no one asked for but that we're forcing on you. I'm an immature MSFT employee who cowers behind his keyboard on GitHub because I'm incapable of forming coherent ideas by combing words and phrases in a forum specifically designed for it." So go ahead, stop hiding behind downvotes and lets see you defend this illegal action with some well-thought-out justifications. We're waiting.
