    Congrats for not putting any of your usual nonsense 2 cents into the people's news submissions... yet. Maybe getting married has some good side effects after all...

    they weren't stupid enough to use ms-windows...

    just try and install a keylogger program remotely via email on a Linux system... IT CANNOT BE DONE... and as soon as more people who make the decisions start to realise that MS-windows is hopelessly borked as a secure platform there'll be more companies switching.

    I look forward to the day when only having ms-office and windows experience on your resume gets it tossed in the bin... the cluefull ones will now be looking for Linux and OpenOffice.org experience.
