Re: Linux Functionality?
With more than 90 percent of the desktop market, we cannot realistically
expect Windows to vanish in the face of Linux. That being the reality,
creating a more secure computing environment cannot be accomplished
through abandonment -- 'security through obscurity.' Instead, we see
that education is improving security for Windows users -- and if any
group has had up-close experience with security issues, it has been
Windows users. We see the common use of free security tools, such as
AntiVir Guard (antivirus), Zonealarm firewalls, anti-spyware and adware
tools. We also see the trend toward open-source applications, such as
Firefox and Thunderbird to plug the most common security risks.

While some things are easy in windows, some things are much easier in

windows box slowed down to a crawl. No software changes other than
patches. Added memory ($$) and not much changed. Then they decided
to remove the virus' and spyware. That helped but it's still pretty
messed up. It's not my computer, it's my ex's. But she's doing
everything that everyone else is doing. Helping the economy of taiwan
by buying memory and then helping some other national economy by
buying spyware removers.
