Or more sucessfully before making the change to linux

1. Download

Ieradicator - http://www.98lite.net/ieradicator.html
Opera - http://www.opera.com/download/ (get the one with java)
Eudora Light - http://www.eudora.com/products/eudora/download/

2. Backup outlook address book, mail and IE bookmarks

3. Install Opera and Eudora

4. Import IE bookmarks into Opera, outlook to Eudora - http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1507hq.html

5. Remove outlook via Settings - Add/remove programs

6. Run IEradicator

7. Watch the process with some feeling of joy

8. Notice how much faster your machine is. Be nervous about security
rather than terrified.
