Oh well. I'm protected from email bugs, as I want to be. What do I care if corporate users still want to use outlook and be trackable? Their choice.
That was an ignorant thing to say. Most employees have no say so on the software they use at work. Sometimes, not even system admins have that luxury due to the company's contractual obligations with the software provider (MS, in the case).
Depending on employees' access level, they may not even be able to turn off HTML in Outlook. | |

| OK well, fine. But SOMEONE chose to use the crappy MS stuff. SO again, their choice - just a different they than you're thinking.
And I agree, screw those people. They have done nothing for the internet or contributed to eliminating the problems with it ever since Microsoft got on board, so screw them. Let them get all the virii, web bugs, spyware, and patches they can stand from Gates & Co.
I don't use Outlook and wouldn't use it if you paid me. Just look at the almost daily reports of new bugs or security holes in it, look how they tried to make it part of the OS (oh, yeah - THAT's a good idea...). And then look how they've forced it down people's throats with forcing it's inclusion in the OS by the OEM's (you could read about it in their anti-trust trial) and as you say, negotiating contracts that FORCE the use of CRAP in corporate networks.
Still, someone in those corporations is making a choice. A bad choice for everyone on the net.
Screw them and whatever happens to them. | |
