[plug] vmware vs wine for virus susceptability

[Mr Shayne]

And Citadel is about to hit bigtime...

I've been working on the dev team embedding python into it, and seriously 
this baby is suddenly going to be head and shoulders above the open source 
pack. It already does EVERYTHING the other foss ones do , (groupdav, ical 
, imap etc) but its a big c coded coherent unit rather than a "bunch of 
stuff stuck together" or a php pretender. With the embedded python it'll 
finally crack that "groupware app server" thing completely. One of my 
private demos I put together exposed its entire C api to XML-RPC in 15 
lines of code.

Best of all, its still got a toe in its old BBS roots. Which is kinda 
nifty.

Web clients ugly as sin however. That said its written in C(!!!)
