Right. And everyone should run MS Small Business Server, and use MS
Exchange for mail, and MS Proxy for Internet, and the only LAN protocol you

Be sure to use MS IIS for your web and FTP server, too.

AFAIK, you need to buy a site license package to do that. Most of our
customers are using the individual OEM copies of Outlook that came with their
pee cee.

Until the next security exploit, system crash, reinstall, and so on.
