That's a misleading statement. The software in question runs just fine - if you have privileges to run it. However in the kiosk situation described the guest users were not given those privileges. > I got a great quote back from a hosting tech today: > > "Sorry for any inconvenience. That's Microsoft." A better one would be "Damned if they do, damned if they don't". If Microsoft had not implemented protected mode they would have been crucified for leaving systems "open" and ignoring security. If they had allowed their own software to run where they were preventing others they would have crucified for monopolistic practices. Now that they've implemented the mode and shown no favoritism to their own software... well, they're getting crucified for reducing functionality. > thank god for osx I would hope that OSX, in a protected kiosk mode, would also prevent you from running active content in the browser. In fact, considering its Unix roots I would be surprised if it didn't.
