Is MS validating OL add-ins?

Hi all,

I seem to be more nervous about acquiring OL add-ins
than for other apps. Does Microsoft evaluate add-ins
for trustworthiness, best practices, etc., and publish
this info on a page somewhere? How does one get to the
point of trusting Developer X, Y, or Z that their code
won't upload personal info or turn my machine into a
spambot or whatever?

Regards,
Chris
 
MS doesn't validate addins. You have to trust the vendor or not. Many
reputable vendors are listed at Office Marketplace and/or www.slipstick.com,
but again there's no validation or guarantees.
