Another flaw has been found in Microsoft Word. In other words, Microsoft has been selling something that is broken (certainly not the first time for our favorite “innovative” software company). The flaw affects several versions of Word, including the most recent. However…
Word 97, an earlier version of the program, is most susceptible to the attack. But Word 97 will not be repaired because Microsoft no longer provides support for it, the company said. A research firm reported in May that about 32 percent of offices have copies of Word 97 running, according to a survey of 1,500 high-tech managers worldwide.
Customer: “The product you sold me is broken.”
MS Customer Support: “May I suggest that you purchase a new version of Microsoft Word.”
