More security holes appear in Microsoft Office
Much ado about nothing. The person would actually have to have Microsoft Office loaded on their PC for this to work. On top of that, they need to visit a web page, then execute the code. This is not a serious threat given the above steps have to be completed which they won't be. Not to mention the big warnings that Microsoft has designed into the Windows and Office system clearly stating files could be dangerous and the user would have to explicitly grant permission to do. Just more ZDNet on their anit-Microsoft crusade since the site redesign. Along with that I'm sure we will get 4 more articles related to this since ZDNet loves duplication on their artiles -- or their bloggers just don't read anyone elses blogs.
