I've been telling my colleagues about liveCDs for this purpose for a couple of months now.

maybe the police have not seen the demographics but i dont think
the 80 % windows users are going to switch to another operating system because the police *RECOMMENDS* it
its not worth fighting over
linux users are set in ther way
and windows users are set in there way
the best advice is let the people do wha they want

well I have not tried to be be verbose but heck you have me going ...smeezekitty

Fact most NSW Police are ms lovers...and its great they are changing.

I do agree that the average person on the street are not going around and saying...wow I must change my net bank habits...but it is still a start.

From one tree a forest there is.

I am not a loggerheads with you and I do not have a chip on my shoulder....groan
