how maintaining an ms windows PC to be fully patched,
properly configured and will all security set to high levels is
any LESS complex or demanding than doing the same on a
Linux or UNIX box.
The era of 'point&click' has passed by irreversibly.
At least with a more serious OS, one has to take reasonable
precautions ONCE and very infequently from that point on.
The total effort to properly maintain a non-ms windows
platform is FAR FAR LESS than the same with ms windows.
If home users had spent 1/10th of the time they try to
maintain their windows box on Unix/Linux they would had
a much more secure and reliable system.
