Microsoft were keen that we signed nightlies, as their reputation system
uses digital signatures to a large degree. Not quoting them, but I
suspect that having IE warn people that a Firefox download was
potentially malicious software just looked bad!

We now do, I believe, sign nightlies. So perhaps this will not be a
problem for either IE or Chrome/the Google service.
