The whole world might not be comfortable with Windows but many,
many of my collegues around the world work at companies where
they have absolutely no say on the choise of either OS or email
client. The CIO/CTO (blame him or her instead!) (simply) made
the (safest) decision and went for the Exchange/Outlook combo
with added Office integration :-) And the users had no say whatsoever.
Rather than making fun of or scream "stupid", why don´t we keep
developing and arguing for standard based 'solutions': because
that's what ms is selling with a fair amount of success. Maybe
TCO (total cost of ownership) calculations comparing "standard
combos" with MS offering, taking virus downtime into account would help?
