Microsoft's Latest Word Exploit Was Made On A Mac

Symantec says that the latest MS Word exploit was made on a Mac. I don’t understand what the big deal is, doesn’t everything made on a Mac cause a PC to crash?

So it was yesterday, when Symantec security researchers reviewed a Microsoft Word document that caused the application to crash when opened. That's because the Word file contained exploit code and other malware. What's different about this particular exploit is that it was made on a Macintosh computer.
