A few things amuse me about this... 1) Coadweaves makes a great product, I just hope that this wan't sent from a Linux box running crossover. 2) I think we all run linux here. We can pretty much say that this particular distrobution spoke is pretty much dead... 3) If Microsoft just removed the ability to run executables from Outlook, and made it so the user would have to "activate" it via a executable permission (Chmod 755 wsmktvxhew.exe) 99% of these things won't even propgate. --- jsheets(a)codeweavers.com wrote:

Well, wouldn't that be an ultimate compatibility test :-). Just test whether all the virusses like wine/crossover as much as a nomal app will mean that even the security holes were implemented correctly :D.

No; John Sheets hasn't worked with us for a few years, his email has clearly been harvested from someone elses address book (one that had both he and wine-devel in it :-( ). Of course, doesn't mean that person wasn't bitten by Wine...

CrossOver Office has a hack^H^H^H^Hproprietary technology that prevents CreateProcess from opening .exe, .bat, and a few others if the calling process is 'outlook.exe'. *This* is why Wine is so cool - because we can choose to do the things that Microsoft is resistant too. Cheers, Jeremy

I don't really believe that, to be honest. People choose to run these things, if they have to go through some meaningless mechanical ritual in order to run it they will anyway. I mean, it's not like their finger slips and they say "oops looks like I clicked the virus, ah well".
Hmmm, you shouldn't be subscribed to the list anymore. Consider yourself unsubscribed. I'll find this and remove it from the archive as well... On Sun, 2004-01-18 at 22:58, jsheets(a)codeweavers.com wrote:
