      Of course, to be fair, anyone with a healthy chunk of knowledge can keep a fairly stable/secure Windows OS. But then, how many people are as knowledgeable with computers as us? Considering the vast stories of Computer Stupidities (google "Computer Stupidities", I dare you -- funny stuff), I highly doubt that it's a majority. So a lot of PC-users end up being shafted because they aren't experts in the field of PC's. ;)

      I seem to manage it very well.

        Yeah, last time my PC had a serious virus (disabled my internet connection), I was able to destroy it myself. No viruses on my PC to date. :)

            i think that translates to "i is the betters. you is a noob" (many years of idiots babling in this language on games has helped)
