>I had a long rant on this subject publish as a postscript to the series in the VFUG newsletter. It appeared during the first half of 2001. Mostly, it was a response to some nonsense that had appeared on ProFox.
I won't deny the "nonsense" part; but nonsense or not, some people may have it disabled on purpose. I suppose that in the end, the question is, how much control do you have over the users' machines. In your company, you can tell them, please do not disable the WSH, 'cause we need it. Unfortunately, for a commercial program, this may be a little more difficult.
Now, whether you like it or not (of course you don't <g>), that is a point that has to be considered when you decide for or against WSH.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
