Bill, thanks for the clarification; though I can't imagine M$ doing
ANYTHING without scooping up some lucre from it. Has to be some
hidden protocol involved.

The only cost associated with code signing is paying for the secure
certificate, and that money goes to Verisign. It's no more of a
money-making
scheme than secure (https://) sites. The certificate simply ensures
the
source of the binary is who it says it is. Without certs, there is
nothing
to prevent you from making a download that says it's from Microsoft
but
actually wreaks havoc with an end-user's system.

Seems like just another one of M$'s ploys to make money on
everything
that goes into a Window's computer; but many times over. Rather
astute
strategy I should think. Just one more reason to dislike the
Window's
platform.
