  1. Re:RTFA on Microsoft Prepares Office Lock-in · · Score: 3, Insightful
    From the first paragraph:

    for the first time will include tools for restricting access to documents created with the software. Office workers can specify who can read or alter a spreadsheet, block it from copying or printing, and set an expiration date.

    Users get to set it. It's not automatic.

    For now... but they can always change that. Who's to say that our helpful friends in Redmond won't "default" this behavior in newer versions, after it's been pseudo-released in this version? It's not like they don't have a history of doing this same sort of behavior (see DOJ vs. Microsoft).
