Maybe it is just me, but I never ran any anti-virus with Windows until this last year (I didn't require it, but I just wanted to be sure). Every OS update I have ever had has never broken anything I do. I do no manual system maintenance besides upgrading drivers and updates. I have never had any issues with security. The first firewall I ran was with SP2. By the way, I leave my machine on 24/7 connected to the internet. I guess me having some training in networking and system administration (and keeping windows up to date) makes my computer inpenetrable...
What I am looking for in an OS is not some pretty crap that is really nice but more expensive and lacking in what I want or a 'free' OS that takes all my time to configure and run the ~150 games and programs (480GB and almost full:/) I have no problems running in Windows.
I spent $200 for Windows XP Pro back in 2001 (price is WinXP OEM with a 512MB stick of DDR).
Why isn't everyone here wanting to see Longhorn in all its glory before crying foul at MS. This isn't Windows 95, 98 or Me (yes they were all crap).
