I'm going into my senior year at Marquette and I can tell you that I have seen things change from a no IE/Outlook policy to pro IE/Outlook. When I got here we were all told that you should have Netscape 4.x (I forget which version they were on) for web and Netscape Mail or Eudora for e-mail. Just this past fall, they converted us from the old (and suprisingly un-reliable) UNIX based e-mail system to an MS-Exchange server. In doing so they decided to start converting everyone over to Outlook 2k2 (It's now on every new machine... Come to think of it, all the new machines don't even have Netscape on them). I have also noticed that more and more people on campus are using IE 6.
Anyway to make a long story short, MU has almost totally abandoned Netsape in favor of IE / Outlook.

Everyday? I know that Marquette wipes the computers in the lab every few months, isn't everyday a little excessive? AC
