What's interesting is that there hasn't been a big virus outbreak that relies on Outlook as an attack vector in many years. In fact I haven't had to deal with a 'true' Outlook virus\malware that actually was successful at spreading since Outlook 2000. I'm not saying it's the best client though. I am a big fan of Thunderbird, but an Outlook replacement it is not, for the corporate world, where you have to be concerned with meetings (calendaring), compliance, and data retention.
So lets just stop the "Outlook spreads viruses" malarkey. It just isn't true.
