Intention behind supporting XLM(Excel 4.0) macro which is 30 year old technology.

Would like to know why Microsoft has not deprecated usage of XLM (Excel 4.0)macro from Office Products. It is 30 years old technology, and is seem to be heavily misused by threat actors in making and distributing malicious Office Documents.

Hi Ghanashyam

Since your question is not related to the Open Specifications documents, I've removed the openspecs-office from the post.

@GHANASHYAMSATPATHY-0273
As your issue is not realted to Office deployment or Office general issues, I would remove tag "office-itpro" and "office-deployment".
Thanks for your understanding.

Such "WHY" questions often don't make much sense in a forum that is about users helping users. We have no insights in the thoughts of the powers-that-be. Feel free to ignore options you don't like to use.
