Proprietary software is unlikely to replace Free/Open Source Software, either. They've both been around for a looong time, and co-exist. I've wondered about a mix of Lib O and MS O. A lot of our users can barely type complete sentences, they wouldn't notice the difference. It's the IT management overhead, and confusion if someone else uses their machine, that's stopping me. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
