Because GNU/Linux systems are not written by MS guys who
simply execute any file just because it pretended its content-type
to be an audio file.
In my opinion MS always had policy to make system more
user-friendly(trying to auto-play a sound file for user) at cost
of security(and executing exe instead). This bug and so many
other bugs are so obvious(assuming MS has good developers!)
that sometimes I feel they are kept on purpose, so that they can
ask user to upgrade to their new OS/apps claiming to be MORE
safe.
