Wait, Bill, I thought your godly closed-source commercialized software was all we could trust (and should purchase!)Now we have another exploit. I'd like to see you explain that!Meanwhile, I'm not sweating. OpenOffice works like a champ - I said the hell with your bloated, overpriced "office" suite years ago.
@dclowd9901They really want to move up to red alert but it does mean changing the bulb*.* Bulb = Light bulb, light or lamp or whatever brightens up your room.
Steve Ballmer: The bug has already fixed in Office 2007. Unfortunately it would be unreasonable of you to expect us to fix it in a soon to be defunct product. Please upgrade. :o)You: But Office 2007 isn't out yet.Steve Ballmer: That is not Microsoft's problem. Please upgrade your software or live with the bug.You: But it isn't ... Ah forget it. What was that open source office environment again?

The same reason they thought it was a good idea to allow executable code in emails?

Having users running with full admin rights IS silly. Unfortunately, there is still software out there that requires it.
