Re: OpenOffice bug hits multiple operating systems
Of equal relevance, is that it only effects fairly old versions of OpenOffice, it is not an issue for recent versions.

Re: OpenOffice bug hits multiple operating systems
So does this mean that when a similar exploit is found in Microsoft Office, that it is still a more secure application because it affects fewer operating systems? (...because the folks in Redmond don't offer a Linux version of Microsoft Office). And note the source...CNET sites (e.g., ZDNET) are typically more sympathetic to Micro$oft. And I notice a Microsoft bias in your email address as well! My 2 cents.
