The window$ manaul comes with two pictures. One of a hammer, and another with a bigger hammer that has a caption underneath it-Use if the smaller hammer failed.:thumbup:

How profound. What problems have you had with Windows that lead you to say this?

Dmcfarland, did you ever mention hating Windows 2000 before?
I didn't realise that you've used it. :P

Problems you ask ... I've had nothing but problems with Window$, and I never realised how many there were until I tried Linux. Every day (or nearly every day) I used Window$ a new problem arose. Most of them were security issues and stability issues. These went hand in hand, because the more secure I tried to make it the less stable it became. It was a lose lose situation ... until I installed Linux. And the amount of spyware and adware that kept building up on my computer despite numerous anti-spyware programs, and an anti-virus program, and a hardware and software firewall, all to no avail. Winblow$ is shit ! that's the least I can say for it.

And let me guess. You've never had any problems with linux, right?

Okay.

What exactly do you mean? Care to give an example of 'trying to make it more secure'?

You're starting to sound like an infomercial here.

So you're saying that instead of learning the root causes of security issue in Windows, and addressing them, you jumped ahead to the easy "solution" of installing applications that only take action after you've been exploited. Isn't that like hiring a bouncer and then having him sit inside your house? There are numerous steps you can take to prevent security problems in Windows. My best is that you installed so many redundant security applications, that they stepped all over eachother and caused the majority of the stability problems you spoke of.
Right now you riding the wave of obscurity, and judging by your "blame the software" attitude, if linux had 95% marketshare on the desktop, your linux box would have just as many security issues as your Widnows box did.
