But I'm just wondering if any Excel expert
can add to what the blog says.

I'm FAR from an expert but here's what I noticed that the article *didn't*
say:

It's not a malicious macro coded threat. In other words, disabling macros
won't stop it.

For those of us who have Office Excel 2003, it seems like the
"obvious" workaround is to install SP3.

Does anyone know of a reason not to?

Does anyone know what feature(s) might no longer work or work
differently as a result of whatever change in SP3 that insulates the
user from the vulnerability?

Having been on the system development side of such security, I
appreciate the security sensitivity, ergo the limited information
about the vulnerability. But I'm just wondering if any Excel expert
can add to what the blog says.
