In fairness, I have not used the trial version of Office-2007. But, after my experience with the trial version of Office-2003, I would touch it with a ten foot pole. Please make sure your friends don't touch it either.

Googling "how to crack a safe" nets robbers $12,000
Googling "how to crack a safe" nets robbers $12,000
These burglars may not have been the sharpest tacks in the box to begin with; they attempted to cover a security camera lens not with spray paint or some other opaque agent, but the clear, cleaning properties of WD-40, and attempted to do the same to a fire alarm that they thought was a camera. But at least they were resourceful; after spending an hour and 15 minutes attempting to unsuccessfully crack the safe using their handy passcodes, according to the Colorado Springs Gazette, they used the computer in the next room to search Google for "how to crack a safe."
The Google search proved fruitful for the two burglars, as they were able to get the information they needed and walk away with $12,000 in cash as well as a PlayStation and a laptop. And despite their inept attempts to outwit the security cameras, they have not yet been arrested.

Hotlan Trojan defeats captcha
Hotlan Trojan defeats captcha
A new Trojan horse that sends spam through Hotmail and Yahoo email accounts has antivirus companies worried that the commonly used "captcha" system, used to prove new members are real people, may have been compromised.
Captcha systems typically use a selection of alphanumeric characters that have been distorted and presented in a graphic with other elements designed to confuse character-recognition software. The idea is that, as only a person can read it and type in the correct sequence, spam bots and other malware can be stopped from automatically setting up accounts.
