It's encrypted to blackberry, but they can still pry if they want, which is what people's point against logmein is. I'm just saying, you inherently trust a lot of companies, and to say one service that is used like Blackberry in a high percentage of businesses, then 'flush' other services which may help your users be productive seems silly to me. But I digress. I just want the point made that LogMeIn does have its place if it's implemented properly. They wouldn't be in business if they hacked their customers networks.

We educate our users that email is not secure. They all want it to be, of course, but it's a case of wanting what can't be had. (Good crypto will address this, of course, but that's a customer-interaction issue that needs to be sorted out on a case-by-case basis, and most people don't actually want to pay for security, they want free lip-service. We give them all the free lip-service they want.) Regarding "other services": Depends on the situation, as evidenced by the email example above. But generally, no, we're not overly trusting, because the world's filled with dangerous, scary people, and the Internet brings them all to your doorstep.
