   Because idiots like you try to blame Microsoft when someone ignores =
the security warnings, opens an EXE attachment, and it infects their =
machine.  Even when required to save the attachment to disk and then = open
the disk file, naive users would follow instructions to do just = that. 
And still, you try to blame Microsoft.  Just look at how many = times you
have blamed Microsoft for such user actions in this forum = alone.  Still
you blame Microsoft.  I'm surprised every time you don't = try to blame
Microsoft.

  Stupid, really, really stupid.  Can't Microsoft get _anything_ right/
  Calpso has much better, and far less intrusive, security for file
