Yeah. The Sony rootkit users would have gladly followed the
instructions on their _audio CDs_ telling them to install software
that prevented fair use and installed illegal software.
We're not talking about preventing legitimate use of auto-running CDs.
We're talking about a sound, simple, and easy way to prevent
illegitimate exploitation.
If you can develop a way for Wine to automatically determine whether
or not an executable on removable media is something useful or a
rootkit, then you may get a little more enthusiasm for this 'feature'.
