 WMF, WÜRTTEMBERGISCHE METALLWARENFABRIK (W.M.F.) history by Senses-ArtNouveau.com

WMF continued to use those acquired companies for their brands on their own markets producing and distributing the same objects under different brand.
WMF's domination of the export market is illustrated by the fact that they produced a sumptuous catalogue showing over 3,000 domestic pieces with descriptions in the English language.

When a WMF file is generated in memory and played back by the application in the same run, like it would to create a graphics macro and use it mulitple times, it generally makes no difference if the procedure is copied or not.
I believe that the wmf exploit was left im by microsoft mainly because of the amount of checking there would of been earlier, i can also confirm its still affecting windows.
WMF is one of the few technologies that has been stagnating around for a long time, and its clear from Mark's analysis that the it's close ties to the GDI are the root of this exploit, and nothing more.

 InformationWeek | Windows Metafile Bug | Unauthorized Patch For Microsoft WMF Bug Sparks Controversy | January 4, 2006
The lag time between the Dec. 27 discovery of the WMF vulnerability and Microsoft's planned Jan. 10 patch availability has forced IT security departments to find alternative means for protecting their systems and prompted a non-Microsoft developer to create a patch that others could use.
Third-party patches are not a new concept, but the one issued for the WMF vulnerability is particularly troubling because it raises the question of why Microsoft couldn't issue its own patch in a timely fashion.

 chargen 19/udp: How Exposed IS The WMF Vulnerability?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
While we're not aware of any attempts to embed specially crafted WMF files in, for example Microsoft Word documents, our advice is to accept files only from trusted source would apply to any such attempts.
For those (like me) who haven't followed the discussion on this vulnerability carefully, and are therefore wondering why the XP SP2 Protections didn't stop it: the vulnerability is that WMF has a printing escape sequence that literally allows the file to specify code to run (ostensibly to handle printing failures).
Gaping holes like the WMF design flaw also show the bias that content providers must be given unfettered control of the computer (in the interest of "enhancing the user experience", of course).

 Breaking News--Fix for WMF Flaw Due January 10, Microsoft Says   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The WMF flaw, which Microsoft says it became aware of December 27, can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code when a vulnerable computer opens a maliciously crafted WMF file, which is used in Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer, Paint, and other imaging programs.
Security researchers say the WMF flaw is a serious problem, and that things are going to get worse in the coming days as groups of malicious hackers rush to create new tools to exploit the flaw ahead of Microsoft's patch next Tuesday.
The WMF appears to be one of the first "zero-day" threats, so named because there was no time for a software vendor (in this case Microsoft) to prepare a patch between the time when it was alerted to the existence of the vulnerability, and when exploit code began appearing on the Web.
