content: I disagree on security. Windows has never been secure except when there was not a network and never used files from other sources. My last interaction with their support was back with Windows 3.3.1. I had an issue with MS Word being unable to save a document. MS's Solution? Just delete win.ini and let it rebuild itself to resolve the problem. That was horseshit, of course. The problem was that 3.3.1 couldn't allocate enough GDI memory for the task and so there was no fix. Period.. I knew their suggested remedy was crap since windows would only rebuild win.ini for the windows installation and would not add the required setting from all the installed applications, thereby forcing you to reinstall everything.
