I shall make a point of not encouraging anything windowsy - I'll see if
we can get this running there
Thanks for that.

Office Live Meeting has problem that it leaves machines open to remote
control. Sometimes without specific authorisation to connection.
It is used by a company I work with to allow helpdesk in India take
control remotely of any machine world wide. Only if computer fails to
boot into Windows does it not get access. Oh, why do I (inadvertently)
leave a Linux Live CD in my disc drive!

You may wish to point out to them that if they do that then they can crack into any SSL session and lift your CC details etc in IE without you being aware of it!
