yes this is very important, I would propose structuring a PR campaign in favor of office suite security. Something like... Are your documents in danger? Using insecure software might harm your document, your information and your assets. I would also list the very very broken history of Microsoft Office security issues. M$O is full of security issues through the years and also going into analysing how M$O vulnerability can harm your documents. Simply having an embedded application with the OS causes spywares to cross from the internet to the office suite. Get hit on IE and you get hit on Office too. -- Alexandro Colorado OpenOffice.org Español IM: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
