Think of the work..
Guy's with a PC almost becoming a consumable, there so cheap, we need something to justify having It people. Thankfully there are malicious people out there or there would be many fewer of us with real jobs.

Really isn't it about time everyone dumped Outlook, in favour of any other eMail client. I know it has some nice features but it's the most dangerous part of Microsoft's produce. It doesn't really matter how many times they fix it, it's still tied closely in with the rest of their products. Every virus writer and malcontent knows where to look for the hooks to do their work. If there were a variety of eMail clients that would no longer be the case. If that works for you as it should why not extend the philosophy to other applications and make a really secure system.
