Yep, I hope they're well configured, since the chance of a
security-problem-causing bug being cross platform among unix
systems is certainly there.

Anybody who runs outlook deserves what they get. Yes, that sounds
strange coming from me -- and it includes me. I fully expect that
this system -- poorly configured as it is with ridiculously
terrible software -- will some day catch a "cold." I will just
laugh and call in the corporate windows weenies when it happens.

"No my job. man."

That said, I am quite a bit more careful than the average person,
and maybe that helps.
