Greetings: We have a unique situation in our environment in which we run Office 2003 and 2007. We run all Office apps, except Outlook due to management concerns about security vulnerabilities within Outlook. Instead we run the Groupwise client, which in some ways makes sense since we are a Novell GW mail environment. However, my colleagues and I would be interested in building a business case to prove that: 1. Most grievous Outlook vulnerabilities have been fixed (again, "most" -- we know that someone out there always seems to find new exploits.) 2. That any current Outlook vulnerabilities aren't any more numerous or critical than vulnerabilities reported in the other Office products like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. I've been looking for some data, or some kind of report out there on the web that can break down the number of vulnerabilities in each Office product, so that we could do some comparisons. The idea is, that if we use all other Office apps, we see no reason as sys admins why we should exclude OUTLOOK considering the work and effort that has been done to address previous vulnerabilities. We find it hard to believe that current Outlook vulnerabilities are any more grievous than vulnerabilities reported in other products within the suite (though admittedly Outlook will always be a prime target since it is an email client). Thanks, MM
