The purist in me says that WINE should not improve on Windows - it should behave the same way, warts and all. If I had a vote, I'd vote to enable it by default, but give the user an easy way to disable it in winecfg. (And I'd immediately disable it the first time I ran Winecfg!)
But, whatever you guys decide to do is cool - as long as you keep cranking out this great package! :)

I'd say that's a pretty good argument for not supporting autoplay...
I was actually thinking about this today. The right method would be to use HAL notification events to prompt the user if they want to autorun when sticking a new cdrom in. There could even be warning text in the dialog so that if it pops up with other device insertion, the user would know that it could be a virus.
