Windows users unprotected against viruses

[piratePenguin]

I think it's that alot of viruses take advantage of operating system flaws, but I don't even know if that's true.

^^true - Windows virus protection is provided by 3rd party companies

Windows NT of any flavour does offer some protection against viruses it's called running everything under a limited locked down user account - it's been enough to protect my system so far.

Pity it's disabled by default. Perhaps you should make your own distribution... OH, nevermind.

I don't have to make a distribution, there's an existing Windows distro that does this, it's called Windows 2003.

Ah, nice. I can't find where to download it on microsoft.com though :/
Could you post me a copy?

You can download it using a Gnutella client of you choice.

I don't think Windows 2003 creates a limited account by default...I think it just creates Administrator and nothing else (as opposed to XP which creates a second admin account).
