Should companies stop using Microsoft's Outlook Express because it so readily transmits viruses? See story.

Should Enterprises Dump Outlook? Brad Hill, Bad things happen to good software. In particular, security transgressions happen to very popular software, more because it presents a big target than because of an inherently frail constitution. Such is the case with Microsoft's widely installed enterprise e-mail solutions, Exchange and Outlook. Both Exchange on the back end and Outlook as the front-end client are exposed to a slew of Microsoft-targeted viruses and worms. The cost of downtime as a result of this malware plague is measured in dollars, lost productivity, disrupted communications, and massive doses of aspirin to treat IT administrators' headaches. Is the pain harsh enough that IT administrators are ready to dump Outlook and Exchange? And would doing so be a wise move?...
