I am just a user and I know nothing, but I think the fundamental security
problem with all M$, that is frequently glossed over, is the file handed to them
contains the ability to be executed, by it's extension.
In the *NIXes the ability to be run is instead in the directory entry for the
file. The differences is extreme in my mind.
