This is a lot of un-necessary "excitement" over an off hand comment about something someone only "thought" could happen.

There is no "potential exploit" of PBEM security using ctrl-alt-del and you of all people whould know the problems that can happen when you ctrl-alt-del

Well, i had this issue once, game locked up because saving the game was considered a hacking atempt by my antivirus, i tried to ctrl-alt-del out and my opponent troops placement blinked on my minimap, while my own troops positions disappeared.

"i had this issue once"
AND
"i tried to ctrl-alt-del out and my opponent troops placement blinked on my minimap"

is somewhat more informative and a LONG way from ...

"you could "enter" the oponent's turn, see his forces, not sure if could move or shoot"

isn't it ?

None of that is possible on my machine. There were "flashing" issues like that in the past under certain condtions , none of which were related to ctrl-alt-del to my knowledge, that were dealt with in the past.
