The way Windows OS is designed is the root cause of
security breeches. It is too easy to break in to your computer. Hacker gets into IE and your entire hard drive is open for business. If you buy Win XP and then have to turn around and buy more software to try and secure the windows environment, you are wasting your time and money. Tell it like it is and quit trying to give M$ a break for making flawed software. Until they do a complete re-design of windows, then WINDOWS SECURITY is a contrdiction of terms.
