It is reported that the new Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac has a pretty bad bug. One that sets the permissions on a lot of files to not the user that installed it or the Admin, but the second user created on said computer. That means that this user could modify or alter any of the files in some folders. Worst of all, it seems that they are blaming Apple's package installer for this, because it is the first time they used it for an install. Even though all the other 1000s of apps that use Apple's package installer aren't messed up as well. Maybe MacBU needs to remember Office for Mac 2008 isn't the only Mac software available...
