the problems is ALL MS PRODUCTS: Outlook, Word, IIS, etc. I fail to see the point of telling MS users that by getting rid of IE they will somehow improve their situation. The fact is they will not. There is only *one* way for them to meaningfully secure their stations: the go the GNU/Linux way. Even Macs do often depend of MS software (Word, IE, etc.). The MAC OS X's architecture is not nearly as flawed as anything produced in Redmond but the but the recent security flaws found in OS X shows that OSX is not really secure either [besides, why would anyone in his right might install OSX on overpriced hardware when *free* (as in 'beer' and 'speech') software is available and can run on plenty of architectures?!]
Securing MS platforms is tantamount to trying to create a cardboard main battle tank: it ain't happening.
