Risk of using embedded MSHTML

There is always some risks involved in using third parties in UI.



This one is cute: It is the "My Web Sites on MSN" wizard that is hit by the IE ActiveX security bar. But this is really nice inside a dialog box, knowing that it is pure Microsoft code.

It is funny because it gives the feeling that it is less secure while in reality it doesn't change anything since it is simply a side-effect of using MSHTML for rendering.
