Virus scanner: free, hardware firewall: wireless router, and as I said, Adaware and system restore are rarely needed (with the system restore being a one off). My Win2k box has been running for 4 years, and that is a crappy Dell machine. All you have to do is follow good pratice and be sure what you are downloading/accepting etc. Oh and don't use IE, because I agree, it is a piece of crap.
So, I was going to ignore your personal attacks and reply to this properly, but then I saw your sig: "Founding member: He-Man Windoze Hater Club" and realised I might as well go bash my head against a brick wall for a bit instead. I'm not a zealot, I run Linux as well, I know when to use the right tool for the job. I'll leave you to your Hater Club.
Jesus, what a load of crap. I run a stable XP box with a combination of a virus scanner and a hardware firewall, and I have no problem with spyware or viruses (you know, the actual plural of virus), and the only time it goes down is when I (rarely) shut it down. The one time I had a problem with spyware that a good dose of Adaware couldn't fix, I just went back to the last system restore point.
I don't need to know how Windows "really" works to be able to use it. It's a tool. Do you know how your car really works? Your dishwasher? Your microwave? Could you build one from scratch? You don't need to, as long as you don't crash your car or put your foot through your microwave. Same goes with Windows - don't download stupid crap, and you'll be fine. "Insightful", indeed...
I played Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) over 2 days, roughly half and half of the game each day. The first day the story was excellent, the second day, complete and utter cliched dross. It's like they got to the half way mark and just gave up.
As a student, I don't have the money to go buying lots of expensive hardware (but I wish I did...) so how do these guys? Oh, and the text to phone alarm thing, wasn't that in Veronica Mars?
So normally when your password is compromised, you change it and try and be more careful next time. What happens when it is possible to duplicate a rubber finger from a fingerprint - done in films, but is it possible now? I don't know. You can't change your fingerprint, so do you just leave it as it is and let whoever it is keep their access?
I recently had my first bash at Linux and installed Ubuntu. Had a bunch of problems with various things (X not starting, etc) but wireless setup wasn't one of them - ndiswrapper and my Windows Netgear drivers got me working with only a minor hiccup.
I'm wondering if the random 3D maps are actually going to work - the last game I can remember to try it was Soldier of Forture 2, and that just gave you 2 or 3 maps with small variations.
You're playing it on the Revolution, you don't care what the original console was. More likely the list will be sorted by title, with (NES), (SNES), etc after.

Looks very Warcraft 3 to me...
So did I. But then, I'm fairly pissed.
PSP looks nice and all, but they missed out the "gaming" part...

...you'll spend all your time playing with the physics engine, and none of it doing any actual work.

So thats what, £3-6 after factoring in the "we get screwed" tax? Not too shabby, I have to say...
I hadn't even heard of this game, so no big loss...

Earth's temperature varies in cycles, news at 11.
Mod parent up, better links than some random blog.
Every single 6-10 year old? Yeah, right.
