@jimmyjamesuk123 @rosyna In this case it didn’t offer security because it failed to convince the developer that it was worth adopting.

@mjtsai @rosyna come on. This is a terrible argument. Developer doesn’t use a security feature: therefore feature doesn’t offer security!

@jimmyjamesuk123 @rosyna Consider a feature that prompts for every FS access. No security in practice b/c users will turn off or not read.

@jimmyjamesuk123 @rosyna You could blame the user. But I would say it’s a poorly designed feature that failed in the real world.

@mjtsai @rosyna I’m pretty sure office 2016 is sanboxed. So even complex apps can work with it.

@jimmyjamesuk123 @rosyna One of the developers was talking about the UI problems a few days go. Also limitations for macros and AppleScript.

@mjtsai @rosyna so as I said. Improvements can and should be made. That doesn’t invalidate the model.

@jimmyjamesuk123 @rosyna Kind of like how PGP doesn’t really make e-mail secure because it’s too much of a pain for most people to use.
