Maybe in the year 2050 some future intern/employee will be adding to the Office code and wonder about the "Don't touch this" code relics of the past that someone from long ago left for future generations.

Keep programs local, and don't use Web coding / scripting for anything but the Web itself through a free-standing browser.
