No Rosetta enhancements? I wasn't aware that security was such a big issue on Office 2004 for Mac. I sort of feel as if Microsoft is just rolling out minor updates and spacing them out as much as possible just to make it seem like they haven't abandoned the Mac side of things.

well i think that the security problems in the windows version of office can also be used on the mac version. as for the rosett enhancements, i don't think that M$ can really do much on that side of things. i think we'll just have to wait for a totally universal build before we see any improvements on speed. hopefully this will come sooner rather than later, but look at the delays vista has faced. unless apple updates rosetta...

There's a big one in Office that can allow applications to launch and bypass any controls you have an any account (not sure if this got fixed).

 

1. Create a hyperlink to an application in Word and then save the file

 

2. Create a user account (or use a user account) and forbid access to that application.

 

3. Launch that Word file in the new user account and click on the link

 

4. The forbidden application launches

 

What else can we expect from Microsoft security ;):hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
