Some of these 'experts' have to remind themselves what an operating system is. It's not a pretty GUI for Samantha's word processing and web-browsing, it is a fully integrated multi-tasking computation environment.

As already alluded to by Xkribble's perceptive post, there is absolutely no reason why an operating system should refuse to run any code if the user chooses to 'accept' (reject) the security warning.

Perhaps Joanna Rutkowska would prefer that the OS only allows execution of code pretested and precertified by Microsoft?
