A Good Start at Eliminating Virus Attacks Against Your Computer.
Calum:
reading the first post, all the evidence seems to be watertight, however, the author seems to suggest that the solution is to continue running windows as your only operating system, but just spend a shitload of your life jump[ing through hoops. You pay for a computer and then you're not even allowed to open your own email for fear of a "virus"? what?
why not just get an operating system that lets you open attachments and doesn't fuck up?
seriously, anybody that reads any of this stuff and wants to continue with windows under the impression it's safe is banging their head against a wall.
I run windows for some things, but it's due to shitty hardware problems and also, i expect it to break down all the time, which it does.
Don't try and get windows into a working state, you will lose...

the longlevity of an idea is proportional to is wrongness/*sorry, was reading the fortune files again*/

you'd better open a page
www.hateoutlooklikewindows.com
or
www.gotaproblemwithoutsolution.com
or
www.mainstreamswimmer.com
decide wether you are completely unhappy with windows and change to linux, apple or whatever or like&live windows with all its crappy attributes like outlook and bluescreen.

I look at the forum and I notice a few things.
1. Most of the people who post here are from europe.
2. Most of the people who post here are Linux/*nix users.
I am a Linux user, I'm also a system administrator wo works on a integrated Network. It's hard for people to migrate from OS to OS and harder for people to move from platform to platform. Especially when your economic enviroment is centered around a peice of software that is considered economically viable. The real fault here is with the U.S. Economy, and the U.S. Government. The Feds dropped an anti-trust case against the green monster itself. proof that the Economy is not ready for a swift migration. It's like the oil industry. Oil brings in to much money to just forget about, even if it is killing our children's future. We can't change it swiftly, it must come when it has to. Fortunately the time is very near. With current hardware advancments and economic turnovers (OEM's can't afford to make computers AND license M$ products)
anyway just my two-bits

the USA's economy is at least as good as that of most terrestrial countries at the moment, however you make good points.
