Well, as if the explorer stuff kept people from clicking dumbly on any single thing downloaded from nowhere?
How would you keep them from clicking on something bad, exept by having an antivirii soft scanning the incomping files?
Then the power user would disable it and scan by himself when got a doubt about the file...
Still, on OS-X system, one could expect it to warn when some dangerous actions are being made by software, like deleting massive amount of files...
That would add another "confirm" box, but might help...
I don't get your point here.
What you said about linux will work with any OSS...
the bigger it is, the faster we'll get a fork to the project,
but still,even a little project with almost no community around it
will revive after some time if poeple are interested...
Corporate keep buying things, mix it up to meet their liking, do whatever they planed with it, and the community version either comes with the corporate soft, or pops out from nowhere as usual with OSS...
So corporate are happy, claiming that they're big open source societies, and things hardly change for the community...
