I have sympathy for windows users. Sometimes there is no viable 
alternative. Autocad or Protel for example.
However, I have no sympathy for Outlook users, as there are many viable 
alternatives.

In the office here we have 25 odd machines. 23 of which the office "IT 
expert" converted to Outlook from Eudora. The remaining 2 are still 
running Eudora.

Before I installed amavis on the mail server, guess which were the only 
2 PC's not to get infected every time there was a major virus outbreak ?

As wine matures, the need for keeping windows around diminishes, but 
until it can run the software we need it to and run it well, the people 
who have to use it will not allow us to make the switch.

Despite what people say (including me) 2000 or XP do what they do 
adequately enough that people familiar with them don't want to make the 
switch to anything that might be harder or different.

I tried to get OpenOffice in here, but because it would not open the 
last 10 years worth of Word documents absolutley flawlessly, it was 
rejected out of hand. Ignorance is bliss.


My ramble for the day anyway..
