Today I found out that google docs infects html exports with spyware, no scripts, but links in your document are replaced with invisible google tracking redirects. I was using their software because a friend wanted me to work with him on a google doc, he is a pretty big fan of their software, but we were both somehow absolutely shocked that they would go that far.

The MS security feature does work quite well (at least for Enterprise).

I'm not sure I would categorize it as working "quite well". At least not in my experience. It's better than nothing.

Ya, I would tend to agree and left out the context. It's not our only URL filtering tool, we have a full proxy and URL rewrite in email for that but it does help fill in gaps when people click links from devices we don't manage.
