Indeed, and from what I've heared this feature is one of the
least welcomed features since a very very very long time... It is very good that MS tries to do something about the virusses
. But it isn't good if this "feature" would be build in and no way to turn it off. MSN will loose a lot of 'above-average' MSN users... Only time will tell...
On a very personal note: if this feature would be build in without the ability to turn off, I'm strongly wondering who the *beeeep* n00b was that suggested this to MSN... And who was the n00b then to forget to include all the other extensions which can be run automatically. Luckely this is still in private beta hands only, so we have to wait until this "feature" matures to see what's up with this...
