...  but what about user perception?

This is where I believe any damage could be done with the article
title as it is. The tool in no way 'cracks' the OOo protection for
opening files. As mentioned before it is simply brute force with some
fancy dictionaries.

However when users see 'crack' they immediately assume that there is
something wrong with the protection scheme (as there is with Excel
protection). That could be damaging especially when users tend not to
read all the details of the product - just the article and title.

Huh ??  Defender doesn't stop spyware (Webroot) ; firewall is only 50%
effective (Zdnet) ; UAC can be turned off and is annoying ; SP1 (incl
security reasons) due end of 2007...
