What ARE you moaning about, Roy?
We already have it from a reliable source(!) that there have been TWO
vulnerabilities in OO.o, one of those in 2005, and one recently?
We are also informed by another reliable source(!) that Security Is Digital
- on or off - there are no "degrees" of security.
Hence, MS Office is no worse than OO.o. and we have already seen today that
I.E. (284 days at-risk) is no worse than Firefox (9 days at-risk).
Do you never learn?;-)
