I think allowing EXE files in the free stuff is a very bad idea. I will not load any executable unless I am 100% certain of the integrity of the source. Since anyone can post in the Free Stuff area (and there is no checking of any of the files submitted), I see a huge risk in allowing EXE files and the viruses they can transmit. Presumably an EXE file in the Marketplace has already been tested and verified as virus-free (they are checked, right?)
