>>Gates' focus on security is more of an admission that Microsoft's products are not "safe" and many businesses are probably tired of the security leaks in Windows and Outlook.<<

Orion -

Amen. Windows is bad enough, and IE also has security holes, but Outlook on the PC is like a jewelry store with no glass in the window.

Unfortunately, Doren is right that Microsoft controls the Internet from the desktop perspective. I'm using IE myself, because so many web sites are built in such a way that even the latest version of Netscape doesn't work.

I actually even like IE, but history shows that Microsoft can't be trusted. It's not a good thing for one company to control "standards".
