Again, let me emphasize.  Really interesting vector, will probably end up
attached to an unambiguous flaw.  But right now, we're just seeing flaws
along the lines of "Double clicking an icon in Explorer might execute
arbitrary code".  It doesn't matter that that's true even if there's a
network share, or a USB stick.  That's what Explorer *does*.

And as I said, a fix that starts off with "First thing we do is feed Explorer
to a pack of hungry dingos" won't fly with Joe Sixpack. ;)
