Does it not actually mean as the Wikipedia entry you linked to said:  
an exploit found on the same day as the software is released?  As in  
"zero-day warez": cracked software released the same day as the real  
thing.

So is this exploit really "zero-day"?  If it is, it must only refer  
to the very new version of Office.
