I assume you are unaware of how irritating many of us find current trends
in Windows where after we have invested many years of solid work in
Microsoft products, we find stuff like Vista which (allegedly) will refuse
to run certain exe files unless the exe is given full access to the entire
system.

One day I will study the links you provided, but meanwhile, if you know,
why don't you either confirm or deny the fundamental claim?

Sometimes I have to download a DOCUMENT from Microsoft, and what I get is
an EXE (presumably a self-expanding archive). I have to run the exe to get
the doc. This is training everyone to run any exe they download. I suppose
this is fair enough because just opening a document these days is likely to
allow malware execution, although at least it would have limited privilege.
