Is ActiveX safe?

Interesting article on the activex and security situation:

 

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1785769,00.asp

 

It verifies that "activex is an EXE with a fancy wrapper and can do anything
it wants".but isn't so quick to lay blame on Microsoft & IE as the other
vendors have their issues also. But of course, it is PC to knock MS and
considered bad form to say bad things about poor Sun, Apple, etc who as
"everybody" knows are the innocent victims of the big bad Gates Machine.

 

Sort of reminds me of another company we all knew back in the 70's.
