Ferrari Mailing List: Re: (NFC) Computer help....!

[Dan Spalding (dan_bob_spalding]

I concur on eTrust.  FWIW, Microsoft uses (or used, I've been gone almost
two years now) eTrust and mandates its use on any Windows machine connected
to its myriad networks.  It helps that we make them (Computer Associates)
work on site with the Windows group to make sure that their file system
filters work properly in a huge IT situation like MSFT has.
