I have been a Microsoft employee for 6 years now where everyone in the company uses Outlook for internal email and scheduling. I have NEVER lost a single email ... or have heard of anyone else loosing mail.

Yeah, but you've probably got all of your mail sitting on an Exchange server, right? And you've probably got a dozen admins that do nothing except deal with that Exchange server, right? And they're probably good enough that they can perform restores from tape without you ever knowing about it. Folks here are talking about local stores, which are much flakier.

And I find it hard to believe that your Windows never crashes. You sound like this guy I heard the other day on the TV that claimed that George W. Bush is our most intellectual president ever. On the other hand, if you really never have had Windows crashes, I'd like to get your secret, as would the rest of the planet.
