Final statement about managed shell extensions needed from MS

Hi,

According to this discussion:

http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-...-8e962124043e/

it is very unsafe to write shell extensions in managed code (and I can
understand why). However, Microsoft themselves are providing such
extensions and are giving examples in the SDK. So what? I have to make a
design decision about a new product and I'm rather puzzled by this.

If writing shell extensions in managed code is really unsafe, this would
be the first big design flaw that I encounter in .Net.

Thanks in advance.
