MS Office and IE Exploits

It seems to have a potential effect on a lot of things, including Office v.X, Office:2001, IE for Mac OS and for Mac OS X, AppleScript, et al... I couldn't get the update from Apple just yet, but that might be my own screwup. ;)" Only the patch for MSIE on Mac OS X is in Software Update through Apple. All others must be downloaded from Microsoft. Update: 04/17 21:02 GMT by P : pumpkinhead writes in that ZDNet has a story with more details.

  1. IE Needed by ScumBiker · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I've deleted IE from my mac. Now I need it for testing and don't want to re-install the OS. Would someone post it to their iDrive and email me about it?

  2. Netscape-- more compatible with M$ by Betaman · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is sad... I downloaded IE 5.1.4 for OS9 with IE 5.1 and the file I downloaded was only 512k, but IE said it was completed. I tried re-downloading, and it just used the cache file and kept getting the same 512k file. So I deleted the cache file and it still somehow downloaded just the 512k file. I opened up Netscape and it downloaded just fine. It's so sad it's not even funny.
