I love these conversations, because security and the "pollution" of the internet is such a huge issue today. I who have an alternate OS am safe, and wish that more people would not use Windows. I don't mean to bag on M$ it is just that there are too many Aunt Bettys who know nothing about computers and just want to send pictures of their children to friends via email, but instead send/receive virus' (and other bad things). I feel bad, actually angry when I feel like they are taken advantage of and sold comps with an OS that is difficult to use.

I hope that those of us who have some knowledge of tech stuff would influence those that we help, not in a biased persuasion, but in an educated "let me help you make the right decision that is best for you" way possible.
