#Windows10 is rolling out today and some of us already have it. I don't, but some of us do.

Does this bother anyone? I mean, it's a simple opt out when setting up your new OS package, but are most people going to know? Is sharing wifi such a big deal anymore?
At my house we have a main wifi and a secondary "guest" wifi (that's what you get when you live with a network security engineer). Does anyone actually tell their friends and family no when they ask to hop on the wifi?
What about people who live within close proximity to each other? Does this mean neighbors who might be Skype buddies or Outlook contacts can suddenly ride on each other's networks? I live in a condo and can see about 20 wifi networks at any given time.

This is what has people worried. Now, if you automatically share your wifi PW with your contacts, I can't imagine that your contacts would then automatically share it with theirs (as that would create a huge cascade and we'd all be inundated with credentials). Still, it seems a silly feature that should be opt-in.
