You're saying that somehow i'm inept to system security because my workstation is running on Windows? for no other reason than I have to use exchange to communicate with the rest of my workplace as a policy? I guess you certainly proved your point. I should shutup because obviously (since I use a windows machine for my workstation) I cannot possible have any idea what I talking about. I sure am glad you're around to put me in my place there big fella.
