some people game or have specific apps that are windows dependent. i know you knew that and that you're trolling, but just in case your cranial turret didn't catch it, there it is.

Yeah, I have to use windows for Visual Basic, but I unplug the ethernet cord before I boot up to the windows partition.

What do you recommend to protect yourself with? o_O

All I use is COMODO Internet Security (Free one, with firewall and antivirus.) Problem is, since I use Professional XP, the admin account is what I use. I guess I better go create a limited account.

I actually use pretty much all Operating Systems; OS X, Linux, BSD, WIndows, Haiku; I never met an Operating System I didn't like.

Exactly, I do have a weakness for a few games, not to mention some other software that is Windows dependent.

1) common sense/behavioral
2) a good antivirus/spyware solution (even windows new MS Security Essentials is quite good, and free)
3) limited user accts
4) don't surf like a retard (see #1)
