These people get very upset when something doesn't work, or a window pops up, or.... whatever. M$ caters to these people by allowing anything to do anything to anything - no protections at all. In the absence of viruses, etc, this gives these people the 'best on-line experience'. Unfortunately, it opens up the computer horribly, both to security issues and to privacy invasions.

'Better user experience.' EH> But how often does it even make sense to run an executable from an EH> email program? M$ has 'ActiveX' and is greatly enamored of this idea. Again allowing anything to do anything to anything - OK by them. EH> As many times as i encounter it, i never get used to such blatant EH> stupidity. Yep. -- rikona mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
