The whole world will use what they are presented with.... the difference
between Win3.1 and Win95 is far greater than the difference between Win95
and GNOME or KDE... so actually it's only software availability thats
holding back IS departments the world over!
If MS gets split, we could have Office for UNIX sooner rather than
later too!

Donald,
The whole world will not switch over to Unix
- the average user will always be more confortable with Windows
unless Unix will at one point offer the same seamless user-friendliness.
So it will always be a problem, one which cannot be solved by telling
others not to use what they've accustomed to - and one which cannot be
ignored.

The whole world does not run software which is a good culture medium
for email viruses. I mostly use nice old UNIX software and it would
take a number of extra steps on my part for some embdedded virus to
get a chance to run. If your software automatically executes stuff
in attachments, you need to change your software, not develope a list
of subject lines you are freightened of.
