Comments on: No One Uses GPG With Outlook http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/2008/08/13/no-one-uses-gpg-with-outlook/ Utterly random, incoherent and disjointed rants and ramblings...

The only shortcoming I've found is that it won"t work while you use Word for youe email composition, so, just flip over to the built in word processor when you need to use encryption. You can switch back and forth between Word and the native processor with a click or two under Tools/Options/somethingorother. Give it a try. It's worth the twenty minutes it will take you to install it and you can be sending encrypted emails for free, in no time. As if all this isn't enough, it comes with an additional component that inserts itself into the right mouse click menu to encrypt decrypt files right from the file explorer. It's so intuitive it hardly needs documentation which as it turns out is a good thing because there hardly is any.

With gmail there is a very smart, easy, and fairly userfriendly firefox extension - <a href="http://getfiregpg.org/install.html" rel="nofollow">FireGPG</a> - that I've been using for sometime. It works crossplatform (anywhere GPG works, although on windows you need some BS package too - WinPT I think). It is free. It is open source. And the only difficult thing is generating a key pair - which can mostly be done with a script. So if you ever get off the office addiction and get a nice google apps box - you're in good shape!

Also, perhaps by 2014 I will finally launch that revolutionary startup and become rich and famous like I always wanted too. And no, I don't have an idea for that startup. I just want it to be like the next Google or something. Is that too much to ask? lol Heh, I wish it would be that easy.

It is clearly the right thing to do, since you need prepare them for when you have to swap them over to Linux anyway around ~2014 :D.
