Office 2003 Bug Locks Owners Out

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "A Microsoft Office 2003 bug is locking people out of their own files, specifically those protected with Microsoft's Rights Management Service. Microsoft has a TechNet bulletin on the issue with a fix. It looks like they screwed up and let a certificate expire. There's no information on when the replacement certificate will expire, though, or what will happen when it does."

My reaction to someone sending me a MS Office document:

I’m sorry, but we do not accept files in proprietary formats. Additionally, we decided not to work with software from criminal companies.
We accept files in all open standard formats, including, but not limited to: PDF, all Open Document formats, RTF, all XML formats, PS, TXT, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WAV, OGG, FLAC, MKV, OGM, etc.

I”m no needy loser, who caves to every shit. I have limits of the behavior that I will or will not accept. And because I’m clear about that, I don’t have to.

Same thing with women. ^^
