Well, me & Microsoft familiarity date back to the days when Gates "created" MSDOS from CP/M, and via my familiarity with CP/M, Microsoft is like a familiar old sock that I know how to do under-the-table stuff with.  All the malware issues experienced by others using ME and earlier editions weren't shared by me cuz I knew how to inoculate my system by hand and was even able to notify Ad Aware about the specifics of how malware attempted to disable detection by it.  I even got into the back doors of spammer ops and did my own meddling as payback.

I am disallowed by the system to do such by-hand stuff on XP and later, which is why I hate 'em.  I'm afraid that my ick experience with Unix soured me on Linux et seq. If I ever get a computer that isn't already employed, I might try Linux and whatever, but as long as my ME machines continue to be productive...well..."if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Hmph.

You wouldn't doodhuh;

Edit: Actually I think many programs written for Linux will work on BSD.
