We goofed on "risky" files in SP3, Microsoft says
By John McBride | Published: January 08, 2008 - 09:04AM CT 

"Right decision wrongly handled" is the essence of Microsoft's mea culpa
on the Office 2003 Service Pack 3 file-blocking fiasco. More than 430
words into the defense of Microsoft's position, senior software
development engineer David LeBlanc finally gets to the meat of the
issue: "Recently we released SP3 for Office 2003, and we took a number
of the security improvements for Office 2007 and applied those to Office
2003 as well. Unfortunately, we made a couple of mistakes that we will
correct immediately."
