   In fact the cost of the software for many places like schools is not much more than the $20 per system on the Select Licence or the schools use other offered ways to license all their system. For some the software is the business and as such it is a small investment.

2. Comment - Microsoft: Run Word in 'Safe Mode'

   While the solution is down and dirty and beyond some users it at least is a tool to use. If you are running any "big company" it should not be a problem if you have taken the time to manage your users desktops, a simple push of the new icon and link would have all your users running in safe mode. For those still working in the hands on mode getting the user to have enough skill to right mouse click on an icon and do a simple edit of the target address might be something to put on a to-do list.
   
   The analogy of a car and a crash is not that much on target. It's more like the police saying we have a known criminal that is flagging down cars. If your windows are open and you stop and pick him up he's going to mess up your car. He will not go into cars with the windows rolled up, only cars with all windows rolled down. Now a smart driver would not pick up any stranger but knowing some people are more trusting than they should be the advice would go out that everyone drive with windows up and the A/C turned on until this nut is off the street. Would I be mad a the maker of my car for allowing me to drive with my windows down or making it so I can stop and pick someone up on the street? Any software that has the market share of Word and usefulness would find the same type of attacks.
