Imagine trying to explain to users what a trusted doc file, and what an
untrusted doc file is. Oh, and by the way, if someone you know gets
malware, it can email anything it likes to you!

I did a new install of a box today (failed disk), and was thinking about
this as I solemnly clicked through the messages to install the ActiveX
thingummies for Windows and Microsoft Update. Make sure you only install
good ActiveX components foks, don't install any nasty ones!
