Microsoft document downloads

|

Why it it every time you want to read a document from Microsoft, they wrap it up into an EXE file? I've read somewhere that this is so they can digitally sign the exe to prevent content spoofing. I guess that is an indication of how little trust they put in digital signatures attached to Word documents.
