Default Not true. They use any app that's registered as a MAPI client

Doesn't have to be Outlook. Outlook just happens to be more common (since it's the best)...

Default and adds a stable GUI, and a management program, and more games, and the code is unified, and...

forking ends, and the code is cleaned up more, and companies can sign SLAs with vendors, and.....

That's a lot of ands. With the current plummeting value of Linux co's stock prices combined with LinuxCare's laying off 35% of workforce and pulled IPO; I don't see this happening anytime soon. In 3 years, all of the linux co's will be out of business or bought out by IBM. We all know how well IBM handles OS's. Then it will be left to cultish programmers to enhance and will never gain legitimacy. :P

Default

thats funny. TCL and YAK scripts are quite easy to write virus code in. learn to use your computer.

Default if you get the "I LOVE YOU" mssg, highlight it ONLY, then use "shift/delete" to get rid of it.

you may want to log-out of email when you're not at your computer. then HIGHLIGHT ONLY the entries, and "shft/delete" them WITHOUT OPENING them.

Default No kidding...

But it seems that most Windoze mail readers auto-run stuff for some reason... and I have yet to see an email tcl or perl or something script that has been sent to me maliciously (well, I'd prolly read it first, anyway ...

BTW, anyone looked at this VBS script? It's pretty retarded :-)
