I'm more thinking about global security than about annoying spam. Indeed spam is evil! ;) But the fact of Microsoft's implicit monopoly on the operating systems might be harmfull for the global network. This IS a (how could we call that?) DPOF (Distributed point of failure). I have nothing against MS but I have something against 95% of the computers running the same OS. It could be a major risk for the network. I think that if we can do something to stop or at least limit the spread of viruses/trojans, if this doesnt disturb the network nor our users, if this doesnt cost us anything and indeed if this is 'acceptable', we should do it. Anyway, this is an endless weekend topic ;) Pascal ---------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Maillist-Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/swinog%40swinog.ch/
