		<description><![CDATA[They&#8217;re out. As expected, Microsoft released two Security Bulletins, and they&#8217;re both a bit less than compelling.
MS10-030 applies to Outlook Express (XP and earlier) and Windows Mail (Vista). If you&#8217;ve already upgraded to Windows Live Mail &#8211; and you should, you know &#8211; there&#8217;s a very tiny exposure, but nothing worth sweating about.

Now, at looooooong last, we have technical details about what&#8217;s changing in Word 2007 (and therefore in Office 2007). Knowledge Base article [...]]]></description>
