I was whining here a while back that I have been playing with a test
machine that has Windows 2003 Server. It's actually a great system, and
seems to have super-fast file indexing (it seems very quick when running
'dir /s c:\something').

But the default security system in IE is unbelievably stupid. It's great to
have this extra layer of security when browsing, but then I want to
download something from a web site. I have to ADD the site to my TRUSTED
sites list! That effectively turns off the security system and I suspect
that I am then fully at the mercy of the web site.

What I want to do, of course, is download the file, then virus scan it,
then see if I want to use it. Microsoft would say (rightly) that I
shouldn't be using a server to web browse, but I imagine this brain-dead
security system is a sign of junk to come.
