The following steps will show you how to make your Windows machine more stable and secure.

1. Open the CD tray
2. Insert a Linux distro - CD 1 of x or DVD
3. Reboot your machine into BIOS and make the changes necessary for your machine to boot from CD/DVD
4. Install Linux using the entire hard drive
5. Throw all Windows CD's/DVD's in the dumpster where they belong

I did this and have been very satisfied with my machine because it is now more stable, secure and faster than ever.

I gave them to my neice -- she made a nice wind chime out of them. Waste not; want not. :D

I can almost see us fifty years from now, trying to teach our grandchildren of the scourge that was Windows.  "Grampa, why did they get away with selling drink coasters for so much those days?"  To which, I'll reply, "those aren't drink coasters hun, those were once a great media format - a bridge between old analogue cassettes and the newfangled laser-based hypnoplayers of today - used to an unjust end by a corporation bent on world domination.  Fortunately, Linus Hood saved the day from their evil goons, and restored the media to its former glory."

My two windows systems are both completely stable and secure. Haven't had any real problems with them, ever. I suspect windows is just too complex OS for you guys, so linux and such systems might be a better choice for your needs.
