You could also bring this up with your management using the quite detailed examination at GROKLAW
Excerpted from "Why Linux Is Conquering the World", (Sept. 8th)

"Then contrast Microsoft's newest offering, its Windows Rights
Management Services for Windows Server 2003, which it has, unbelievably
enough, named RMS. Here is the overview. This is the method of
controlling what people can do with documents, whether they can open
them, share, read, change, copy, print, or keep them forever. Yes, it
will erase email and documents. No doubt that idea was born from the
antitrust trial.
"Microsoft Office 2003 Standard Edition users can only view RMS-protected
documents and emails. The Professional version users can both create and
access RMS-protected docs. But they have to pay. First, you have to buy
Microsoft's product line, end to end, and then you have to get your seat
licenses, and if you want to talk to anyone outside your organization,
well, that costs extra, lots extra"
