Message-ID: <A54506325BF6C74ABFBB7434F71661CF09D479@dnzakex1.datacom.co.nz> From: StuartF at datacom.co.nz (Stuart Fox (DSL AK)) Subject: IE is just as safe as FireFox >Unfortunatly, ms group policy do not handle mac, solaris, linux, ... >only ms toys can be configured using this.

It's not somewhat new - it's four years old, and the technology in use was in use in NT 4 systems. It's the standard method of configuring Windows clients that are members of an Active Directory - and will probably continue to be so. A year or so won't even see the release of Longhorn, so it certainly won't be "old". >This mail doesn't mean firefox/mozilla is the greatest tool of the >world.

So that's the answer to my question there: No. >Other browsers&mail readers are using a >dedicated central config server (I forgot the name) in order to make >them more corporate aware. People underestimate the importance of the browser being "corporate aware" - being able to centrally control and configure the browser is important. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
