I wouldn't be surprised, given their brilliant solution to the problem
of the ODBC text driver being used to add lines to *.ini and other
system text files. Turns out there's now a registry setting you have to
use to tell ODBC which extensions a valid text table may have. Yeah,
that'll stop those crackers. Thanks, M$!
