One of the reasons we are migrating our company to Linux is that the risk of virus damage is much, much lower. OOo is a key part of that migration strategy. The only problem we have is with "lock-in" to Sage Accounts but since Sage is working on a web based version we will soon be able to say good bye to Windows viruses, malware and all that business risk on every machine. In all the business risk assessments I see, no-one seems to consider the risk posed by viruses except in terms of using anti-virus software. Removing yourself from a virus ridden environment seems to be much safer. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - 01827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
