Actually, if I did know I'd probably tell him. As far as I'm concerned there is no 'good' anti-virus, firewall, spyware removal tool, etc, anymore than there is a 'good' prison, or 'good' car accident. They're things you shouldn't have to worry about; you should just be able to use your machine, free of protective tools consuming 25% of your resources; Linux and OS X offer that.
I don't know of any 'we don't support Windows rule.' If someone wants to answer a Windows question be my guest, but I'm not going to waste my time when something else will just get corrupted, broken, or infected the next week.

Only beacuse they're not the most popular, why would anyone bother to write a Linux/Mac OX virus? :rolleyes:
Oh sorry, I forgot Windows uses root access, but not if you're sensible like me and only use a restricted user account under SP2 which has a built in firewall and use FireFox you'll be ok 99.99% of the time. :)

If there was a diversified OS market there would be less viruses and trojans because it would be too difficult to target one population. I'm encouraging that. The whole "OS X, Linux, BSD" is less popular, so it's not compromised as much argument is weak in the first place, but I'll let someone else attack that.

There are no rules except, A) no spam, B) no flooding, C) no illegal activity. Learn it, live it, love it.
MrX:

And what, pray tell, do you define those as?
The current rules are just that, within a more rigid definition that fits the forum culture.
"I'll know it if I see it" is a very dangerous definition, because it means that a mod or admin could twist those loosely defined rules to fit whatever they want them to, this makes mod bullying easier, not harder.
I won't love it.
But this discussion deserves its own thread, instead of clogging this one.
