Until MS ports Office to Linux, Linux is safe from this particular vulnerability.
They don't need to. Office 2007 works flawlessly on Linux under Wine.

You don't need historical analysis. I've seen first-hand that buying a woman steak or lobster helps me reproduce.
Here's a hysterical analysis. I've seen first-hand that buying a vegan woman steak or lobster does not help me reproduce.
If I remember correctly, someone once said that religion is the opiate of the masses
In cases like this it's more like meth than opium!
i think it's ridiculous that it's expected to have to apply security updates. install the software, have a firewall protecting the inside, everything should be fine. most places have seemed to adopt this policy of auto applying patches every week or so regardless of weather the updates affect their usage. potential security issue found in the usb print drivers and puts it on the patches list. what's the probability of a security violation happening due to this potential risk? it's inside the corporate network! if some guy in data entry wants to be disgruntled and hack into the print server, you've really got bigger issues. management issues. maybe he's the same guy who turns on the bathroom faucet every night before leaving to let the water run and drip the company of some money.
ff's auto update really annoys and disrupts my personal workflow. i just learned to turn it off. i only use ff for some functions that don't see to work in chrome right now, citrix is one. it's really sucks to have your computer constantly remind you that it wants to disrupt your work so you have to close your browser and restart the browser to click through some authorize dialog boxes and finally be restored to the prior state.
And for anyone who thinks this guy is legit - why won't he just publicly reveal his so called discoveries? He could then patent them and make a fortune. Our IP laws are stronger than ever.
Maybe the idea, then, is to hide his technology, by offuscation, from other people's patents. Personally, if I just invented some free energy source I would release all the plans for the benefit of the world and put all my resources into proving the concept for scientific verification. Maybe there's a problem with that approach that has stopped others dead in their tracks that I haven't thought of.
Microsoft doesn't have anything to do with it.
Apart from being the inspiration for it!
