Hi there
There IS a difference between programs like Thunderbird etc which are basic standard APPLICATION type programs and things like Classic shell which interact with the basic Kernel or underlying OS itself. There's no reason to block typical application (non "privileged") programs like Thunderbird whereas those like Classic shell that fundamentally interact with the internel OS / kernel ("Privileged" programs) should be prevented from executing if they risk breaking the OS.
Ms was merely ensuring the integrity of its OS by special programs -- I'm sure that if the developer re-writes code that doesn't risk de-stabilizing the OS it will work just fine.
Not sure though how much programs like Classic Shell are really needed though any more in this edition of Windows -- that's another matter though.
Cheers
