And it would seem that OpenOffice can't use the ribbon interface. I have nothing against OO but it makes me feel good that they can't just rip off the interface like with previous versions.
They mentioned on-demand screencasts - are these available to MS employees only, or the public? I had a look on microsoft.com doesn't look like they are there... bummer.
edit:
On second thought, I guess the videos contain 0days, so obviously MS don't want them going out to the public!
In the video you show your evil activex control and what it does is issue the "format c:" command. Actually, this command will fail since the C drive is in use by the operating system and cannot be formated and since the format command needs confirmation
before it formats a harddisk, although the latter might be bypassed I guess. However, you are the IE Security Team and I hope that you know this. After all, hacker do much worse things and I hope that you know much more than you are telling us on their methods
and on all the harmful senarios that are out there. Because a simple format c: is nothing and you should know that. I hope that your internal testing examples are much more sofisticated than what you say publicly.
That was just a trivial example - it didn't matter what was in the file, just the fact that the control tried to write a file but IE7 didn't let it.
