I feel sorry for Microsoft. Just to qualify my credentials I don't actually use any of their product apart from keyboard and mouse. The problem Microsoft has is that most of it's users are a bit stupid and therefore tend to run scripts and things that wreck their systems. Providing support for eejits is probably the cause of alot of their security holes. I use Linux not because I hate Microsoft but because I get a C++ compiler and source code for any apps that I run. This helps me with work for custom reports on data etc. This just wouldn't be possible with NT. I guess I am just trying to defend MS a bit and explain that their target audience makes the OS increasingly difficult to secure properly. Having said that - there are too many people who use Windows in my work environment. They keep on having to do their work on my Solaris Box! Oh and by the way don't get me started on bloody Windows networking - WINS is a bunch of arse.
There is always the option of the user changing his browser setting on a larger screen to have a larger font. That way he doesn't have difficulty reading thing!
