The main problem I have with using Windows, is that it is on a corporate machine I have no control over and extremely limited access to (I guess, a standard office computer these days) that I have to use for work, hence contacts getting into Outlook. Some of those, I want to have access to at home on my Linux box. Hence the idea to keep a contacts file in pst format on a USB-stick and sync the data at home where I can configure the necessary applications. Of course, if I could configure the Windows machine that would be a daisy! :) -- Johnny ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
