atw: Re: OT: Viruses

> I'm very interested to see how well some non-Microsoft software (in
Microsoft's territory) avoids viruses. I'm thinking in particular of
OpenOffice, which can read and write MS Office documents. It has a macro
language, so executing macros stored in MS Office documents seems like a
natural thing for it to do. But whether it should or does or ever will
(or
whether doing so is safe) are all a different matter entirely. =20

Excellent thought! I'm sending my Normal.dot home to see what OO does
with it!
