Further to what you were saying on your podcast, I came across a list of "badly behaved" apps that need read/write access to directories outside the user's home area. Here it is:

poorly made apps

I thought at first that it might be quite old - because some of the other material on the site looked to be quite old - and that maybe some of these applications had been fixed. Then I saw that the page is dated as revised on 2006-05-25.

I found it quite by chance, only today, because I was reading about Radmind and that page had a link entitled "crappy apps" to an article that the list is a subsection of.

I just had to have a look with a name like that.

Considering these ISVs shouldn't be doing this, it's a rather big list, isn't it?
