Code is executed mindlessly at the mere presence of an object. Not pixel
rendering code, but actual complex libraries, which makes one wonder about
OpenOffice that runs in a /virtual/ machine and benefits from Java's safe
boundaries.
Again, Windows goes for convenience without looking ahead. Now isn't that a
recipe for disaster? The closest form to this would be encapsulated
PostScript, but it is programmed by a proficient crowd that understands and
honours security.

Reminds me of a joke I came across yesterday:
The word 'politics' is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many'
and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'.

Wait until the Linux userbase extends and gets itself a voice, either in the
boardroom or the forums or the media:
