 That's the same argument Microsoft used for shipping their product with 
everything enabled. No joke--I once argued with a Microsoft engineer about 
how stupid they were to have originally had Outlook default to automatically 
running attachments. His answer? They had ONE customer, on a non-connected 
network, who used that feature to automatically deploy updates, so they just 
shipped it that way to EVERYBODY. Think about it: MS took what used to be an 
internet hoax (the Goodtimes Virus), and made it reality ... "just in case."
