Faith No More
Tim Mullen, 2004-02-02

Microsoft can end the scourge of e-mail viruses by ending its support for old software, and the clueless users who refuse to upgrade.

Users are sheepishly stupid (as in dilbert), They dont want to learn!

The only way is to force security and have some kind of SMTP proxy that deny older POS mail clients to deliver their mail; Telling them:

"I will NOT accept/deliver for you destination till you upgrade from that old crap you are running now".
