[edit] he emailed all of their customers about it. I don't think any employer would accept this as a good business practice unless it was an accepted procedure to do.
I'm sure if you ran Nessus against any computer network you are going to find vulnerable systems out there.
Your argument has nothing to do with the fact that the employee emailed EVERYONE in his company about the vulnerability.
And using Linux as an answer is not productive.
So licenses are an expense, not an asset.
I don't understand that if you plan to use a std image on every pc in an organization you must 1st have a volume license for the org, then each pc has to have it's own individual license for the OS, yet you cannot resell the individual license once removed from your organization. Wouldn't the license number be available to the buyer of your used equipment, as it is still afixed to the pc? Why can't you sell them seperate of each other?
ditto that. OpenOffice.org on top of what he said. As far as the internet load; I just switched to a new city-wide wireless connection. Had to buy a 200mwatt bridge to get connectivity though because std. wifi adaptors didn't cut it w/ the 50mwatt pwr. Times are a changin'.

But in the scheme of things this is really just a reaction to Microsoft's http://ideas.live.com/
Take a look. The OneCare app is an inbound/outbound firewall to replace the built in xp inbound firewall/virus scanner, etc.
The http://start.com/ - the testing site
and http://live.com/ - their production site
even started using Gadgets http://microsoftgadgets.com/, just as Yahoo bought Konfabulator http://widgets.yahoo.com/ & has widgets now. Google just made some more API's available and brought out Google modules http://www.google.com/ig/directory
Microsoft is working on a new messenger program, a primitive mapping program (that they've had for a long time), the whole live site is basic white even. Every one is getting the minimalist sites and all-in-one package deals.
If you check the big browsers they are all competing for a desktop/browser setup. Personnally, I don't like when my browsers take their crap onto my desktop and make apps out of them. Anything that indexes my desktop seems like a security risk and a definite performance hog. If I wanted gadgets/widgets/modules... well I don't. And I really don't need a toolbar.
I'm not surprised this was Google's next step but I try not to download the stuff I don't need. I'm a Windows OS fan but *nix ported apps are the best in my mind.
