Actually I'm a windows geek. My boxes are secure (for windows, anyway), though, because I keep up with the patches, use a firewall, avoid outlook express, use a virus-scanner, disable macros, run as a non-privilaged user, and turn off crap that I don't need to have running.
What I can't stand is the people that won't spend a little bit of money to get a firewall and a virus scanner to keep their machines from being infected by anything/everything. Ever notice how they won't take your advice if it costs them money...?
You don't get used as free tech support by a lot of people, do you? I for one know that certain members of my family, and certain "friends" of mine will probably be calling me for the first time since the blaster worm thanks to MyDoom or whatever it is. They don't have time for me except when their computer goes to hell. Surely I'm not the only one here....
