New OpenOffice bug affects Mac, Linux, as well as Windows (Download Squad)

Sep 26th 2007 1:48AM Maybe it would be kind to acknowledge the following:

1) It's taken a really long time for someone to discover, and no one yet has taken the opportunity to employ, this flaw.

2) The latest version already includes a patch.

This story comes across as a bit of a "just as bad as Microsoft" hit job. The fact is, when civilians find hackable flaws in Windows or IE, the fixes are insufferable and frequently ignored for a duration. This announcement is more noble than shameful, the Open Office movement deserves a retraction.
