Word 2007 Creashes Are A Feature Not A Bug

[pumper]

SECURITY VULNERABILITIES which cause Word 2007 to crash and burn have been defended by the spinsters at Microsoft.

Apparently, Word 2007 was designed to crash like that and Microsoft is proud of this particular feature.

When Word 2007 runs out of ideas about what to do with a malformed Word document it crashes and thus saves it the trouble of having to think about it.

Anyway it was 'no big deal', she said, as users can restart the application to resume normal operations.

Another reason to use ABIWORD

BTW, your link doesn't appear to be working. Maybe their site is just out temporarily, though/

This is crazy.

I hope it doesn't mean that when your car is not working properly

you'd better find the nearest brick wall to get it back going again!

Thanks Microsoft!

By the looks of the topic the spellcheck feature isn't integrated into the web browser either.

Word 2007 sucks. Halfway into my history paper it lagged and crashed. I had to start over because autosave didn't catch th work I had been doing for an hour.

The functions are so hard to access in this version too... I don't know what microshaft was thinking...
