I do have it. In fact it was the last version of Windows that I bought for personal use: not that I use it very often. It is one of the OSes 'supported' by my broadband supplier, so their engineer used it when he came to install broadband. I was beginning to think that it wasn't as bad as people make out, but during his install process Windows hung ("Do you mind if I switch it off? he said. "Do I have any choice?" I said). It then lost track of what driver it was using for my graphics card. It is tolerable if you use it to run TightVNC client in fullscreen mode to connect to a linux m/c.
The loss of bandwidth is not the main cost of spam these days.Certainly not internal bandwidth between our mail server and desktops. The excellent features of doing it on my desktop are that the filter is learning about what _I_ consider to be spam and ham, and that I have the stuff that's classified as spam to hand and can check it through once in a while.
So far for me it's only thrown false positives when colleagues have sent stuff that was spammy in content. I have a presentiment that our CEO's habit of writing in red HTML (full of ff0000) will cause a false hit one day.

I dread to think what Grace Hopper looked like.
asking why everyone hates the IT department
Solution 1: if you can, work for an IT company.
Solution 2: Don't do desktop support.
"What language makes the most sense now to get the jobs?" What jobs?
A the most watched nation on earth, we're familiar with this path in the UK. Expect issues, as seen at http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jun/17/birmingham-stops-spy-cameras-project
Virgin in the UK used to refuse support until you connected a Mac or Windows box directly. Routers were 'not supported'.
Eeew! I meant:

ProxyPass
Proxy
You could always proxy it off your own site, but their implementation isn't exactly friendly. e.g. in apache ProxyPass /data/current http://fragments.irrepressible.info/data/current
ProxyPass /images http://fragments.irrepressible.info/images
ProxyPass /js http://fragments.irrepressible.info/js
The use of an iframe makes it tricky to put onto a Wordpress blog front page too.
It will be good to go from the Firefox 1.0.7 that comes with Breezy Badger to Dapper's Firefox 1.5, but I still think it's worth the wait.

... we've been much to busy uninstalling AIX to worry about linux.
Call me cynical but I decided some time ago that this was the retailers' deliberate intention.
It's too expensive. There's an article about what others are doing here
It's good that the FUD is being fought, but there could still be an effect which is not accounted for here.
"the ability to create encrypted, password-protected discs, or to squeeze nearly a gigabyte of data onto a 700MB CD-R."
There is a picture in the news.com article.
Of course! We'll sue Billy Boy. That'll be a doddle.
