Microsoft: Should we allow .NET EXEs to run off a network shares?

blogs.msdn.com — By default .NET applications (EXEs) that are launched from a remote file system (eg \\server\bin\SomeApp.exe), will not be considered trusted and typically will fail (unless specifically designed to run with low trust). This is in direct contrast with unmanaged applications which always give full trust to launched programs, regardless of location. The .NET runtime team is considering changing this behavior so that managed applications act just like unmanaged one in this respect. We believe that it will not decrease security, but there is risk and effort required for any change and would like feedback on its likely usefulness to customers.
