PE executable files are used to be named *.EXE although this is not a technical requirement but as long as this does not interfere with usage there is no need to change this practice. And actually it does not interfere with system usage because the user never has to call this binary manually. > edit my linux.ini and rc.bat? Exactly _that's_ the point. If some people see something they associate with Microsoft, they run cracy like a short-tempered bull. Either they learn to see the world in a more technical objective way or they are likely to earn more sarcastic comments like the one above. If your aim is to destroy anything related to Microsoft you have a _really_ long way to go, but if you waste your time whining about file name extensions then you will stumble already before doing the first step.
