1. Comment - New Microsoft Office Flaw Emerges

   (Jun 23, 2006 - 2:20 PM)

   Am I shocked at the myriad fundamental problems with MS products? Heck no! In fact, considering the fundamental use of ActiveX and other fundamentally and fatally flawed technologies, I ASSUME it!
   
   But is reporting EVERY security alert as a news item warranted? This is like watching the TV news and receiving intimate coverage of every car accident and playground scraped knee and fight!
   
   If people subscribe to an anti-virus product and are registered users of a product, they are reasonably assured that such issues will be addressed - or to put it another way, unless the flaw is exceedingly critical, they are not in a position to do much to resolve the issue (barring not using it) until the vendor or a reputable 3rd party issues a fix!
   
   So, with all due respect, and the usual degree of earned disrespect for the sloppy programming model employed by MS (and far too many others!), the making of headlines with each and every MS buffer overflow or exception mis-handling is a bit anal and not news!
   
   Move on!
