You won’t believe this, but I ran into this issue for the first time a day or two after reading your blog. I immediately knew what the problem was!

Just like in Vista where you now have to answer “yes I am sure” to almost any action you do. All this does, is that you get use to having to say yes constantly, and you end up just clicking yes all the time, without really noticing what you are answering yes to. So when there finally comes a case where you should have answered no, you don’t notice, but just answer yes.

The safety measures of MS are always retarded.

Yeah I really really hate that about microsoft.

Also if you transfer a file in MSN and MSN considers it to not be a safe filetype, like and .exe, then it will still transfer it, but after transfering it, it will delete it, and without telling you about it.

The only sane thing would ofcourse be to just warn you and still give you the option of whether you want to transfer it or not.

MS are just retarded that way.
