After actually reading the article, it alarms me greatly that the widget
system is programmed via HTML. To me, it means that they are designing their
HTML interpreter to be Turing Complete, with hooks into the local
environment. And I'm willing to bet they didn't write a seperate HTML
interpreter for widgets and for IE7.
I was expecting them to use .NET for the widgets, so as to clearly
delineate what is an executable application, and what is merely a viewable
(HTML) document.
