But that could be about to change. There are increasing vulnerabilities administrators and users should be aware of, such as Domino's newfound compatibility with the Microsoft Outlook client through iNotes Access for Outlook. It could invite sharks to tear into the platform. And there are other developments to worry about.

The British Ministry of Defense has come up with a way of stopping quick-spreading e-mail viruses. The software does not rely on traditional virus-detection methods but detects a virus attempting to send e-mails to all the names in an address book. The software requires users to authorize any such action, theoretically stopping global virus attacks before they start.

Hundreds will work on eLiza, spreading changes to all IBM's server lines, its storage products and software packages such as WebSphere and Tivoli. IBM's goal is to reduce the difficulties of administering the large servers at the heart of Web operations and corporate networks.

Many in the technology industry think peer-to-peer will have a huge impact on the efficiency of large businesses. But will the wide adoption of P2P in the business world threaten the livelihoods of application services providers? Lotus Notes creator Ray Ozzie, who founded P2P company Groove Networks, says he does not think so.

Very frustrating at times for Monika Henzinger, the director of research at the Internet search engine Google. She is asked this question more often than she would like, especially this week when her name appeared on San Francisco Women on the Web's list of the top 25 women on the Web. Her answer: "It feels normal." Maybe the current Miss France should have a talk with Henzinger. People seem to be asking a similar question about her.
