Totally off-topic but ...
For those poor souls stuck with Windows/Outluck at work, may I
recommend the latest Knoppix CD + (since you work for micron) a
Crucial Gizmo! 256 MB USB flash disk. Put your home directory on the
flash and use a real mail client.
Of course if they restrict you from installing another mail client they probably stop you from booting from CD/usb in the bios.
Incidentally you can install and run the zip(non installer) version of Mozilla Thunderbird (and firebird) in your Documents folder without admin privileges on win 2k/xp.
