In my job, I spend a lot of time of time helping customers upgrade and configure Outlook. John Gruber posted an article this weekend where he asks his Magic 8-Ball questions related to Napster’s new subscription service. It’s a cute article. At the end, he asks the Magic 8-Ball one final question with an answer so profound that all Windows users should take heed:

Before I let you go, one last question on a different topic. The mainstream media coverage of the Mac Mini frequently emphasizes that security issues — spyware, malware, adware, etc. — are leading Windows users to consider switching to the Mac. It’s little wonder why Windows users are frustrated — even their email clients are infected by viruses. Any thoughts on this?
OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD.
