I see no reason it wouldn't be native, as all that legacy stuff is rolled into a single Super I/O chip connected to the LPC bus that is software compatible with the ISA bus and has been for a decade.
From the original blog article: "Due to privacy reasons and protection of the identity of the victim, we cannot share the source.DOC file with other parties."
Note here that MSDN has completely get rid of compatibility info for any Windows versions before Win2000. Look in the old Platform SDK for WinServer 2003 SP1 from 2005 for the true compatiblity info.
Well, when they designed ActiveX, they did realize that there would be security issues, which is why they created code signing and "safe for scripting" and "safe for initialization" etc... One of the problems however was that back in 1996 buffer overflows etc was not well-known security threats, which is now one of the biggest reasons why nowadays MS is adding kill bits in security updates.
Yea, partly because of the need to support old XP display drivers. The good news is support for that is eliminated in Windows 8, which may even allow the DWM to be part of the new CSRSS.
I once suggested to Larry Osterman of MS that this be done, now that there is a *separate CSRSS for each session* and has been since NT4 TSE. If one of them crashes, only the session is lost.
Except it doesn't, as the bad cert was also "missing certificate extensions", which means it can be used for any purpose after the private key is factored out, and indeed from one of the articles:
"I have been contacted by Entrust who say that two of the certificates issued by the Malaysian DigiCert Sdn. Bhd. were used to sign malware used in a spear phishing attack against another Asian certificate authority," reports Sophos' Chester Wisniewski.
Yea, during year 2006, Office in fact was a big target of zero-day attacks, forcing MS to released Office 2003 SP3 in Sept 2007, and also MOICE around the same time which converts files to OOXML in a sandbox before opening it. Later MS introduced Office File Protection in Office 2010 and later backported this to 2003/2007 which validates Office binary formats before opening it.
The funny thing is that HTML 3.2's tags came from IE1 in the first place, but excluded those tags not implemented in Netscape 2.0, like <FONT FACE=. In fact, the standard itself says it reflected the de facto HTML as of "early 1996".
And slower will be I think solved with Interlagos, and Intel will have only Westmere-EX (Xeon E7) to compete since Sandy Bridge-EP is not even released yet. Now compare the already-released pricing of Opteron 6200 CPUs with Intel's current Xeon 7500/E7 pricing, and guess what will happen.

Yep, fear-based top-down command and control is another way to describe it.
BTW, GDI is no longer single threaded in Win7.
FYI, a series of blog articles on this:

Note here that MSDN has completely get rid of compatibility info for any Windows versions before Win2000. Look in the old Platform SDK for WinServer 2003 SP1 from 2005 for the true compatiblity info.
And in particular it took until IE4 in 1997 before MS's own web browser supported embedded fonts.
I think recent versions of Firefox uses the OTS font sanitizer which tries to prevent attacks.

Someone already suggest for example to trim Mono.

This is probably why they are revoking trust for the *entire CA*.
The funny thing is that Best Buy in fact is already doing something like this:

I think the tipping point here was the intro of Netscape 2 in early 1996 which introduced frames, JS, etc which together was complex to implement.
FYI here is the story:

I am talking about the quad socket market only. I know that the dual socket market will be a different story because of Sandy Bridge-EP already.
It began in the days when HTML 3.0 was the standard. Here is a thread on this from when IE1 was soon going to release. Unfortunately, Netscape had a monopoly on web browsers, leading to 3.0's failure which in turn led to 3.2.
The funny thing is that HTML 3.2's tags came from IE1 in the first place, but excluded those tags not implemented in Netscape 2.0, like <FONT FACE=. In fact, the standard itself says it reflected the de facto HTML as of "early 1996".
Personally I would suggest cleaning up the mess by Intel selling the Itanium division back to HP.
And AMD has also be trotting the death of the 4P tax on their blogs in the Opteron 6100 era, and there is no indication they will going to change that with Opteron 6200 anyway.
And slower will be I think solved with Interlagos, and Intel will have only Westmere-EX (Xeon E7) to compete since Sandy Bridge-EP is not even released yet. Now compare the already-released pricing of Opteron 6200 CPUs with Intel's current Xeon 7500/E7 pricing, and guess what will happen.
