There's also a need for privacy and security that has to be supported through a move toward the next version. Across the board, companies need to manage their information more carefully and in more managed ways than before. They need to lock it down more and that's the more attractive part of moving forward with Office 12.
I think it is a move in a positive direction. There may be some pain and some productivity loss at the outset, but the changes I've seen will affect productivity in positive ways once people get over the initial shock.
Most of our work, up to now, has been with employers. Small business, especially, are looking for good employees but don't think of older workers as a solution. So, we've been working to change that view.
The avian flu may be that next novel strain and it may not be, we just don't know yet. The threat of a pandemic isn't a new one. It's just ratcheted up right now because they're finding this new strain in a few more places.

It's reflective of where the country is. There are millions of people who are very deeply engaged in the political process.
