    Once again, it’s an exploit for VB, on Windows. So, don’t use Windows and you’re fine. 😎

        A properly educated user.

        Absent that, a properly secured thin client.

        All of my excel jockeys have about as many userspace privileges as my dog on a 737.

          Wow… Claiming “a properly educated user” being an exploit free solution is just… I don’t even…

            But you “do even” think it’s sensible to demand perfect security like that’s the only valid alternative to Windows for anyone?

            “[brand] makes slow cars!” “What do you recommend that does 0-60 literally instantaneously?” “This is a reasonable question and implied suggestion and I will now proceed to thoughtfully engage with it, taken literally as stated. Here is my breakdown of companies producing physically impossible road-legal motor vehicles:”
