Can someone explain why Syskey is about to be removed in the FCU
They consider it insecure and deprecated.

I can understand screensaver removal, but Paint. I will never forgive this.
Ever heard of WACKY PACKAGES? One of them is a parody of CRACKER JACK. The product retail box shows the sailor, his dog, a blue circle with white writing inside the blue circle. THE DOG IS BITING THE SAILORS LEG AND LATCHET ON TO IT. THE SAILOR IS GRITTING HIS TEETH IN EXTREEM PAIN. AND INSIDE THE BLUE CIRCLE, IT SAYS, “SUPRIZE, NOTHING INSIDE”!
UNFORTUNATELY, IT’S A VERY ACCURATE DEPICTION OF THE PRACTICES OF MICROSOFT!
