Unsurprisingly, Microsoft failed to consider the security implications of running HTML and active content (scripts) within the context of a local application. And then had to issue a draconian security patch that disabled all sorts of things they didn't intend it to. I'm sure that was just a one-time oversight by MS (haha). So, I don't think it's OS-specific, other than MS only issued the patches for versions of the OS they considered still supported at that time. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4uq8tmnt6tgsqpbytceywzudkp-o3cu9t4pj2mjtas...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
