I mean it is not as though Outlook isn't responsible for more and costlier security problems than almost any other piece of software (Except perhaps IIS), and there is little sign of it getting much better given the recent buffer overflow problems announced.
Hmm, you don't work for the University do you? I am amazed I am *still* allowed to run linux on my desktop - ableit that I'm the only one. We *still* have Sun boxes running Solaris which provide the central services - dns, mail, internal web server (and the business school provide a unix news server). However, the 'management' insist that we should be running Microsoft for pretty much everything. In the light of that I'm surprised I still even have a job here! Because I have been told that I 'have' to have access to the Exchange server for mail (etc), so I have to have a separate PC alongside my linux one. It's well and truely daft. John.
