[dba-Tech] Office security issue CVE-2023-23397

[John Bartow]

Lol, I'm pretty sure the same meme is used for anything made by replacing outlook with anything else made by Microsoft/Apple/Google. Clients aren't exactly "friends" so I haven't broken any meme rules 😉

Clients are the ones that either have to have certain programs or can't be persuaded to use anything else. I have a large list of open source and free apps that I can install - update - remove with a click of my RMM scripts for friends. Of those apps there have been very few that have impressed me to the point of qualifying for a post here.

There's a very old meme ""Friends don't let friends use Outlook"  :)
