The worst part is that the vast majority of computers come with winblows preinstalled. This is almost certain when the computers are acquired in bigger quantities for company use.
The employee gets a nice computer on his desk, ready to do anything at the first push on the power switch. This is very convenient. Very liitle time must be spent with setting up and configuring a simple peer-to-peer network. Things will work nicely utill the strike of the disaster one day. After spending a whole day disinfecting several computers, we've decided to remove Outlook (if this is possible) and to use some other mailer. The choices are between Eudora and Pegasus Mail. The 32 bit Foxmail unfortunately uses MSIE to render the HTML messages, and I've already seen infections carried out by Foxmail :( I'm looking for mailers which by no means, no matter the setting, behave like Outlook.
