Microsoft Defaults to XML in Office 12
Microsoft announced today that it will be introducing new XML-based file formats for three core Office applications in the next version of its productivity suite, currently called Microsoft Office 12. Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint will all default to storing files in Microsoft Office OpenXML format. To denote the new format, Microsoft will append an "x" to the file extensions: .DOCX for Word; .XLSX for Excel; and .PPTX for PowerPoint. Files stored in these formats will actually be compressed ZIP files that include the underlying XML and any images used in the document.

From eWeek: A new version of the Netscape Web browser is being criticized by spyware experts for failing to notify Web surfers when they're visiting Web sites that distribute the harmful monitoring programs.
