Here's a guide for your Windows using colleagues and friends aimed at 
making it easier to switch to Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on 
Windows systems. A bit unusual fare for OfB, but it seems like it might 
be helpful considering current problems with vulnerabilities and 
spy/adware. Forward it along if you think it will help anyone...

With new security holes appearing every day and spy/ad-ware spreading 
rampantly, the combination of Internet Explorer and Outlook Express are 
becoming increasingly dangerous choices for safe web browsing and 
e-mail. Yet what is one to do if they can't or won't switch from 
Windows to another operating system? It's simple: bring the security 
and power of Open Source applications to Windows. The Mozilla Project's 
Firefox web browser and Thunderbird e-mail client do just that, and do 
it without sacrificing the easy-to-use, clean interface users demand. 
As associate editor Ed Hurst noted in his OpenCD review earlier this 
year, many of the Open Source community's best applications are 
available conveniently packaged for Windows, and the Mozilla Project's 
applications are no exception.
