Certainly. But I think there is a difference between finding out that your
ftp server software has a buffer overflow exploit in it and continuing to
ship and expand the same macro/scripting system that you *know* is insecure
and enabling, by default, options that you *know* are insecure.

I'm sure these are very valid reasons but I think you're missing the most
obvious and most important one. MS products, and Outlook in particular, get
exploited because its so damn easy to do.
