net, or need certain services from office etc. One reason that SP 2 is having as many problems as it has been, is because even though it's got a number of services turned off by default, when you use. If we all played by the rules, and Microsoft did the right thing, it might be different. No matter how you look at it, OS X is far more secure, for the average person, than XP.

Most people do at least some of those things. I don't see Anand web surfing frivolously, downloading questionable files from newsgroups, and subscribing to porno sites etc. I suspect that those who have all of the protections, and claim to never get infected, don't really do as much as they have us think they do. If you rarely buy anything, go to obscure sites (and with the new fly-by trojans.), not open e-mails, etc., you won't likely get infected. They don't WANT to understand that they have to be proactive about these problems.

When I explain that even having these programs doesn't mean that they won't still get infected, even though the probability is much less, they are bewildered. The idea of getting two or three anti-spy-ware programs is also something that they can't understand, or like. They feel as though they shouldn't have to pay for something on a yearly basis to use something that they have already bought. When I mention this, they get angry about the idea that they should HAVE to pay for a subscription. Most have an anti-virus program, but have let their subscription lapse.

When I help someone with a PC who has a seriously infected machine, I find several things of interest. While I completely agree with those who say that we should all get a router, firewall, virus protection, and several spy-ware prevention programs, it just doesn't work for the average person.

melgross - Tuesday, Octolink Student/Teacher Office for the Mac sells for $135-150, and you don't have to show that you are anything other than willing to pay for it.Ībout security.

I honestly haven't played around with Entourage much, mostly because of the issues that I've had with Office for the Mac (which I'll cover later) and because I'm so happy with Mail. It does the job that Outlook did, which is all that matters in the end.įor those of you who are like me and want more integration between the applications, there is always Microsoft Entourage (basically Outlook for OS X). That's not to say that it isn't good it's a fine application, just nothing to write home about in my opinion. Mail had its speed and I guess iCal has its stylistic beauty, but other than that, I wasn't too floored by the application. Maybe it's because of my lack of use of the application, but I haven't been able to find anything that stands out about iCal by which I was truly impressed. It covers all of the bases including a to-do list, the ability to create multiple calendars, reminders for scheduled events, recurring events and once again, just about everything else that you can do in Outlook. There's something about having a separate window to deal with just for the calendar that doesn't mix well with me.Īll uncomfortable feelings aside, iCal is a pretty well-rounded calendar program. For some reason, I've never been able to really get much use out of iCalendar because it's not tied into Mail, whereas I used Outlook's calendar quite a bit. While light levels of integration are present in Mail (such as being tied in to the Address Book), you have to launch iCalendar separately in order to get calendar functionality. The one thing that I missed from Outlook was the integration between the email, calendar and address book applications.
