Go try it in a virtual machine or a box you're about to reformat. It may not delete system files, but it eventually recurses on down to files you can delete and trashes 'em.
I haven't tried it, but I think it should only affect the users own files.
Funny how both Ubuntu and Fedora have 'application management'--yet I can download a tarball, compile it, and run it...
And before you say 'noexec', I just checked my
But the program will run under the user and will only have access to files/API calls that are allowed to the user so the only files that could be affected are owned by the user. If the user wants to trash his own files that's fine by me, as long as it doesn't trash the system.

It not just douchebags. Consider the noob who goes googling for a solution and someone says rm -rf
It's a feature for the enterprise customer that's already built-in. It's called corporate access management or "not giving users root" in rocket science terms.
You need a decent way of preventing noobs from messing with stuff they shouldn't. Then you need a good way of deterring people from screwing off--like locking down games and maybe the desktop background. Finally, you need a great system to try and prevent actively malicious users, like someone installing a remote access program shortly before getting fired.
This is also an already provided feature for the enterprise customer. It's called application management or "removing a package" in rocket science terms.

How about making each rendering engine a library any program can use? If a program requires mshtml, you install it, if a program requires gecko, you install that. If you don't want mshtml and all the vulnerabilities that come with it - don't install it, which I'm really looking forward to.

Submission + - Top Ten Free Games of 2007 (midnightsynergy.com)
Midnight Synergy writes: "With the season of big commercial game releases upon us, it is a great time to remember the many free, fun, inventive, and creative games that have been produced over the year.
To this end, Midnight Synergy has compiled a Top Ten Best Free Game Releases of 2007 . The list includes, among others, a surrealist adventure game, an island survival game, an educational puzzle game, and even an experimental sumo wrestling simulation. These games are virtually guaranteed to provide you with hours of fun on these cold winter nights (and are completely free).

Notes:
1. The list was compiled based on coverage on major game websites and discussion boards, but as with any "Best Of" list, it contains a healthy dose of personal bias. This "Top Ten" concentrates on independent releases and does not include previously available commercial titles that have been re-released as freeware for promotional purposes.
2. We would be very interested in hearing feedback on this list. Which games do you think did not deserve the cut? Which ones did we miss?"
