Not only that, but in order to use their new automatic update system, you'll have to introduce a security vunerability into your system. You'll have to have ActiveX enabled.
Re: "ACLs are one thing that should be prevalent on new filesystem designs."
Before Microsoft puts too much time into a new file system, I'd like to see it make full use of the existing NTFS one -- especially the ACLs. I'd like the OS and program files to be in an area that cannot be written to by anybody on the outside, or even by myself unless I'm logged on with a privileged account -- to eliminate any possibility of upgrades/viruses and other stuff getting installed over the net or from e-mails, etc.
