Microsoft s plan to sandbox documents in the next version of Office looks like a very good step forward, according to one security analyst. Last week, Microsoft revealed more details about a new security feature in Office 2010, dubbed Protected View, that is designed to shut down the popular hacker tactic of feeding users rigged Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. The feature will be added to Office 2010 as part of a security update.
