    That's what I thought you said. At least now we know that moving from XP to Vista is not a security upgrade. So much for the oh so secure new OS, I'm sure it's worth every penny I saved not getting it.

    I'm thinking about migrating to DOS 6.6. I have no idea how secure it is, but I'm pretty damn sure nobody's trying to exploit it.

    C'mon, post up your standard replies about how we're bashing poor Micro$oft, how every system has gaping holes just like Micro$oft, how if Linux or Mac was king of the hill they would all be as bad off as Micro$oft, and don't forget the 'it's getting better all the time' mantra.
