   Hope the VA doesn’t get there hands on one.

2. Comment - Microsoft: Run Word in 'Safe Mode'

   (May 26, 2006 - 8:59 AM)

   Seriously, that might work in a very small department with good communication, ie you can run around to each person to help them understand what they need to do. And I don’t care how explicit in detail the email( describing what to do) is at least half will not do it right. That’s assuming an awful lot about the 50% that got it right. It just is not practical. In an organization that has any significant size it is not worth it. I have about 2000+ users and it makes me laugh to think about it. And STILL other apps are going to open Word without opening in /safe.

   Spammers generally do not get the "bad a**" respect in prison they feel they should.
   
   He will more than likely get gang raped on a regular basis.
   
   And/Or become someone's sweetheart.
   
   Either way, he will get punished.

4. Comment - Microsoft Patches Six Vulnerabilities

   Freelance network engineer? Does that mean you run spybot on your friends and neighbor's computers? Just kidding.
   
   It is a pain. I manage about 2000 client and the users always say "this thing keeps popping up when i am trying to work, I just close it out." And trying to explain to them what adware and spyware or anything related to the normal operation of a computer is and they suddenly lock up. They are not responsible for the computers. We are. Why should they take time out of their busy schedule of playing solitare and trying to delete hidden files ( because they just didn't think they should be there) to think about updating their computer or run some type of malicious software removal application.
   Sorry, a little venting. :)

5. Comment - IE Head: Netscape 8 Breaks XML in IE

   No kidding. We love to hate it. I just seems to me that, its not weither or not we are going to use the new Microsoft stuff. It's "when" are we going to use the new Microsoft stuff. I manage close to 1000 users, and they are just learning how to use computers. And i am in IT for an educational organization. I can not imagine trying to teach them how to use something different @ this point. They just can email, browse internet, and save files. I think it would just blow their mind tring to tell them they can no longer use something they are just now feeling comfortable with. And now it can't be used and they must use something else. That is what frustrates me. Educating end users. While i am still trying to figure out what the best thing is.
