Linux Fuel
I wonder how many people ...... myself being one... have adopted Linux for exactly this reason? While I was using Windows, I held back to "obsolete" versions, and resorted to obscure Email programs and browsers. Windows is the bullseye........ I don't particularly relish being in ground zero, and I absolutely refuse to run virus protection programs... the overhead and other problems are worse than the disease. There are other options. Make a religion out of being "out of step" and you will find yourself out of the target area. I'm about to abandon the Mozilla community... (Firefox and Thunderbird) for more obscure options.
Not everybody's cuppa tea..... but it works for me.

H.W.

P.S. I would strongly discourage you if you are considering Linux..... it's a clunky, difficult to use "for geeks only" OS. Stick with Vista....... There is some comfort at least in being amongst the crowd.
