That Web site is utterly disingenuous. Rather than giving low-value information, how about high-value information that actually protects people: 1) Don't use Windows. 2) Don't use Outlook.
I'll not get into the endless banter that will certainly ensue when I tell you that, in many circumstances, people don't have a choice in the products they use. I know I don't, at least at the office. And don't tell me to go find another job where I won't have to work for Microsoft Nazis -- I thank my lucky stars just about every day that I actually HAVE a job, considering the current job market. What I WILL say, however, is that to Microsoft's credit, Outlook 2003 is drastically improved over its predecessors. Outlook 2003 will no longer automatically download pictures that are in an HTML e-mail, nor will it automatically execute any embedded code or link itself to outside websites that are linked in an e-mail. They (MS) have a long way to go, but they're certainly climbing the mountain. -- -jtb _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
