The fact that it silently starts proprietary executables (eg. the
windows scripting host), just because they're there, indeed is a
huge bug, more precisely: a fundamental conceptional error.

This is something you really wouldn't expect in GNU/Linux world.
OTOH, Gnome3 (or Lennartware in general) has the same attitude like
Windoze stuff - treat the user/operator as the dumbest being in the
world and try to do lots of magical things, but even w/o some
careful thoughts.

Such things are even worse then the good old autorun.inf misfeature.

IMHO, these Lennartists have totally lost control of their actions.
They've become even worse than M$.
