"Wow, Gary, that's about the most extreme response to Windows security flaws I've ever heard of. But, I guess if Linux is your primary OS, you're not actually missing out on much. "
In a former life, I managed a university computer facility (a Cray Y-MP). My job depended on keeping my main frame alive and happy. Old habits die hard. I regard someone attempting to hack into my system as a personal insult so I go the extra distance to keep it from happening.
