He was talking about this the other day, it won't be a case of writing a little macro an attaching it to the programs, manufacturing machines will have to be refitted, servers will have to be reworked, etc. I wonder who in the industry gave to this pac? We're not talking your home pc here, or even a small office or business, this is industrial strength stuff that will be effected.
