Microsoft yesterday said that "critical" security lapses in its Office software and Internet Explorer Web browser put tens of millions of users at risk of having their files read and altered by online attackers, according to a CNN report. An attacker, using e-mail or a Web page, could use Internet related parts of Office to run programs, alter data and wipe out the hard drive as well as view file and clipboard contents on a user's system.

CNN's crack team shines!
Office is a software product that runs on Windows and is used to write documents and crunch numbers.
Where would we be without this kind of news and information! I'm sure glad I read CNN so I know what this mysterious "office" software is.
Anyway, it looks like the vulnerabilities are limited to the Windows versions of Office, so you'll probably only need to worry about your work PC. Don't bother going to TechNet, just hit Windows Update and you should be all set.
Or... you could buy a Macintosh... hint-hint...
