Oh yes... I love Microsoft's whole attitude to 'potentially' harmful files. MSN has been deleting things people sent me without permission for years. Damn them!

The amount of times I've spent sending mp3's over messenger just to have them being nixed by some pokey setting is unreal.

The fact that Internet Explorer doesn't have any qualms about it shows an inept lack of centralised security policy.

As an aside Firefox 2 doesn't have that many compelling features to shout about as yet. I don't have a problem with that, it's designed to be lean. I secretly would like to be more of an Opera fan but the gui is pretty horrible looking.
