Microsoft Office 2003 offers self

Microsoft Office 2003 offers self
destructing documents
10/29/2003 01:16 AMAccording to an article in NewScientist.com: Office 2003 features new
versions of Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint, along with various
usability tweaks and new functionality. But the software also comes
with the ability to let users control the way other people use the
documents they create. This can be used to prevent other people
forwarding, copying or even printing a protected email message or
document. "It should work," says Simson Garfinkel, a
computer forensics expert at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT). '"But it could be defeated by a hostile user. There's no way
you could prevent someone from taking a digital picture of the
screen." ... The rights control feature in Office 2003 depends on
having an intermediary computer system with Windows Server 2003 and a
software package called Rights Management Service installed. A
protected email message sent between two users is encrypted and the
recipient's version of Outlook will check with the server to see if
the user is allowed to edit, copy or forward the message. A time-stamp
can also be applied to make the message unreadable after a certain
date. While I suspect that people will quickly figure out how to break
this first generation DRM with the equivalent of a magic marker or
using the shift key, and of course the expired documents will still be
on the (Windows) server, this is probably a pretty good indicator of
where governments and corporations are headed, and Microsoft has a
history of successfully iterating products. While others debate DRM,
Microsoft is creating facts on the ground. Not an encouraging
development....

09/21/2004 01:11 AMI’ve been trying to think of something intelligent and new to say
about Microsoft’s recent
Office
source code maneuver, but Simon Phipps
took care of
it. Anyhow, when it comes to Office software, I’m less
interested in its code (source or object) which should be disposable
and replaceable, than I am in its output. Some call them “office
documents”; I prefer “intellectual heritage”, “racial
memory”, “crystallized thought”, “priceless treasure”, that
kind of thing. They need to be taken care of better than they are, I
think, and
others agree.

Microsoft Office Data Assistant for
Microsoft Office PowerPoint® 2003
05/27/2004 03:09 AMThe Data Assistant for Microsoft® Office PowerPoint® 2003 provides
an easy-to-use method of inserting and managing graphical data objects
such as Visio drawings, and Excel charts and named ranges into
PowerPoint presentations.
There are three basic features for the tool: inserting graphical data
objects into PowerPoint, saving graphical data objects for future use,
and retrieving saved graphical data objects for reuse. Because the
Data Assistant creates a connection between PowerPoint and the host
application of the data object (Excel or Visio), you have the option
of inserting the data object as it was saved or refreshing it to
reflect any changes that were made to the data object.

published in 2000, the last time Microsoft's source code was
compromised. Don't look at it or you could contaminate yourself
legally: The Wall Street Journal reported today [October 27, 2000 --
Ed.] that Microsoft and the FBI are investigating an intrusion in
which unknown attackers had access to Microsoft source code for three
months. Although nothing purporting to be Microsoft source code copied
in the intrusion has surfaced yet, any such code poses a legal risk to
people who read it and to any free software project that accepts
contributions from those people.

06/02/2004 12:06 PM Microsoft Corp. today announced the availability of two new Office
2003 Business Intelligence (BI) Accelerators, the Microsoft® Office
Business Scorecards Accelerator and the Microsoft Office Excel Add-in
for SQL Server (TM) Analysis Services. Designed for and built on the
Microsoft Office System and Windows Server System (TM) , the Office BI
Accelerators provide customers and partners with increased access to
data that is critical to maximizing business performance. Information
workers and industry partners can also use the accelerators to assess
performance in real time and reshape strategy and redeploy resources
as market conditions change, staying one step ahead of their
competition. By taking advantage of existing Microsoft technology
investments, the accelerators are a cost-effective way for end users
and partners to increase their business insight and automate formerly
manual business processes, providing greater efficiency, productivity
and enhanced decision-making.

Microsoft to share Office code
Microsoft to share Office code
09/20/2004 10:44 AMReuters reports that Microsoft has
announced plans to open up the code to their Office suite. Microsoft
will share the code with 30 world governments, allowing them to
inspect it for security problems. The announcement is part of a
wider "Microsoft's Government Security Program" launched
last year, where 30 governments have been
allowed access to the source code of Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows
Server 2003, Windows CE and now Office 2003.
Microsofts main competitor in many markets is free software. More
often than not, it's also open source (i.e. anyone can view the
underlying code that makes the programs work). Microsoft programs are
generally closed source and are only opened up to select people, often
with tight restrictions.
To a certain extent, Microsoft has opened up the code to stay
competitive (or ahead of the game) with regard to Open Source
software. Asides from this fact, the problems with security and
inter-operability with Microsoft programs has prompted the move.
Governments often use and need software from a variety of vendors to
work together to ensure efficiency. Microsoft hopes the move will
restore any faith lost in the past few years; recently, the company
has been beaten to some lucrative and high value contracts by Open
Source alternatives.
