And if you're totally fed up with the security crisis but want to continue using your computer for common tasks, consider dumping Windows altogether and switching to Apple's Macintosh, which uses its own operating system, called OS X.

Just something I wanted to point out to some folks….
Joel Spolsky wrote something recently I agree with completely (this wouldn't be the first time I find myself agreeing with Joel, even if he primarily writes Windoze software), but this is important...
